And they've always looked like cars in the middle of a paint job.

I had a car that I drove for a while that was just black primer, but it wasn't by choice, hated to look at it when I went to get in it.

I have a can on the shelf and I just want to do the chrome around the rear deck emblem. Yours came out great.

Problem with plastidipping an entire car like that GT500 is that even though it peels off, you will NEVER get it out of everywhere. It will be stuck in-between every body panel, etc.

Also flat black paint jobs = yuck. Looks like an unfinished, primered beater.

Actually if done right each section will come off in one piece. Actually i see what you mean like in between the panels and stuff like that, but i think you could spray a good amount of the dip rewetter or even dip thinner and pressure wash it right out. Im sure theres a method

To me, It depends on what color and how well it is done. Here's a few cars that have chameleon plasti-dip.

Honestly I would rather drive the Barney purple Boss than the Unicorn Rainbow GT.
I guess im getting old because I don't see why someone would do that to a Mustang.

because it's unique, and you'll probably never see another like it.

Nothing unique about it at all.

Some of the choices that people make for their cars might not be my cup of tea but that's the awesome thing about owning a car. If you choose you can make it your own. I know people that think you should always keep a car stock in terms of looks and then there are people who think purple cars are coo

Agree and like I said im old so who cares what I think. Its not my car.
There are lots of things these days that I dont get...like those giant holes in your ear you can put a Pepsi can in. That is the stupidist thing. Those Vape things people hang around their neck looking like an idiot etc.

Rock on with your Rainbow My little pony GT if that's what you like.

Unique- being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. I'm not bashing your opinion, because I know there will be people who don't like it, and that's fine. But to say that a chameleon plasti dip on a car isn't unique is quite ridiculous. This is the first time many people have even seen that or the purple, making it unique to most other mustangs.

Ok you are right. Its unique in that its Plasti dipped that color. Its not unique at all to see cars or mustangs painted that color. Ford used to have it as a factory color (Mystichrome) I guess there's a reason they quit making it.

Like I said its not my car so paint it how you want. Or spray it with liquid rubber.. do your thing enjoy life.

Chameleon paint was actually a factory color on Mustang Cobras for certain years (last I remember seeing it offered was somewhere in mid/last 90's).

It's called Mystichrome and it was only offered on the 2004 Cobra. Saleen has a similar color called Extreme Rainbow.
