The One Great Thread For all of you plasti-dip fans
Kind of a nifty idea and they have gloss clear if you don't like the matte finishes.

I don't know, call me a hater but spraying a $5 can of plasticized rubber on a $40k car is not something I'm a fan of. Then again I think flat black anything on a car looks like crap pretty much, just looks like unfinished redneck primer most of the time.

It can be overdone, just like everything. But it's very convenient, looks great when applied properly and is generally completely reversible.

It's a cheap, easy, and reversible makeover that gives you great results when you're saving up for the wheels you really want.
plus I think plasti dip adds an extra layer of protection from dirt on your wheels.

Same here. Might try some stripes so the haters can hate even more. And my car is a $30K car so I need to know what the cut off is for cars that can be sprayed with fancy redneck plastic in a can.

Im an avid dipper and i gotta say iys pretty remarkable stuff. You can experiment with all kinds of looks and it can easily be peeled off. Can be used as protection on road trips from chips and bugs, experiment with different looks, tint lights, and many other things. Heres my car with dipped wheels, decklid, trunk emblem, fender stripes, hood spears, tinted tails, also dipped the grille surround, pony, and area around where the foglights should be. What fo you guys think?
Im gonna be experimenting over the next couple months so ill be posting more pics

My wheels were almost $3000, Gloss black that's looks really good and I like the dip on it more, and best of all I can change the color very easy

Theres tons of vids on youtube (dipyourcar channel) that demonstrate how to dip just about any surface.

If you're doing a lot of parts or large areas, it might be worthwile to get a sprayer and do it with a proper gun. You can also buy gallons of plastidip. Probably cheaper in the long run if you have that much to do.
I've been seriously considering dipping all the shiny black plastic trim, like the mirror caps and the panel that surrounds the pony badge on the trunk lid. I don't particularly care for how the dip looks on larger areas, but it's better then the shiny plastic and will probably stay cleaner, longer.
