Plasti Dipped the car until I can get a quality paint job. Tried out the Navy Blue to see what it looks like. Will try to get clearer pics tomorrow..

Copied from another forum:
I have a friend that did his 350z in white with the dipyourcar.com kit. He put 6 coats(3 gallons) on knowing he would have it on a while, and hoping it would help with the durability and peeling. When he did it: ![]() After it was all done it looked great for the first few months: ![]() However, as time went on he found it was very very hard to clean, and that it was staining all over. Yes this is white, but I would imagine stains on black would still show somewhat.. Finally after 11 months he decided to peel it, and lets just say its not "peeling".This was taken after many many hours of "peeling": ![]() (The rims are painted, not plastidipped BTW.) Not only is it a HUGE pita to get off, but as you can see on the fender it is taking paint with it. He has tried all kinds of things, and the only things that seems to work to get it off in any kind of section is steam, or if it is very very cold.. Just my .02 and personal experience with plastidip, but I will stick with plastidip for small things like rims, emblems, computer cases, etc.. This is just my personal take on an entire car, but I have heard of this happening a lot when taking it off so be weary. This post has been edited by SupraKid: May 14, 2013 - 10:58 AM |
