Sorry to hear about the accident Nick. Hope she gets back on the roads soon.

The dip jobs are very well done. Seems you're becoming quite a pro at it brotha. How much does it cost to dip an entire car like that?

Thanks brother :tup: BTW I love that matte grey on the Dodge Ram :yum: if someday I wrap my car definitely are going to be that color

I need to save my ducats so I can get my truck dipped. I looks pretty cool...:tup:

That truck is actually a custom color flip pearl!

You cant tell from the pic, (ill post more) but it switches from green, dark grey, bronze, tan, and copper. Then I blacked out all the accents/wheels

Bob, You know ill take care of you & the truck! I would just need it for a few days

Heres a 180 of the truck so you can see the shifting of colors

Which car?

It all depends on the size of the vehicle because in the end we base our pricing off the cost of materials. Most cars our size cost roughly $800/850 or so for Plastidip, and then if you want higher end liquid wraps with liquid vinyl, we start at $950. Then things like door jambs, gloss, chameleons, etc boost the price as well.

If you did it yourself like I did, my Z ended up costing around $450+. So you pay someone a few hundred bucks to work on your car for 2-3 days and you get solid work, it makes sense. I know CA is rough on dip laws... but theres a few good shops that I can hook you up with if you need it. A few less than 30 min away from you

Feels good to be out of the rental car VW JETTA and back in my Z :driving:

Hey Nick, how do you clean your car after dip? I dipped my fangs and everytime I wipe it down it leaves towel remnants or just smears stuff into the dip. I can't get it to look nice after I wipe it down.

damn hahah!! true! but man i want matte dark grey :(

DIPCOAT from DYC.com or DIP MIST from BLOU Detailing

Don't take this offensively, but if your towel is leaving remnants, then it sounds like the texture is too rough on the surface of the dip. The last coat of your dip needs to be 100% wet and heavy without running. As it dries, it'll flatten itself out and self level

This is what black dip should look like. Super smooth and then obviously you can gloss it up too to make it smoother...:tup:

thanks Nick, I'm not offended. :)

So mine looked like the first picture after I did it. The last coat was wet. The towel is pretty soft though, and even if I use micro fiber cloth it does the same thing. It's really hard to wipe at all. The towel wants to stick to the dip.

Try out DipCoat! Its kinda pricey though. About $30 for a spray bottle. Its more for those who have a full car dipped. Anti-Scratch, UV Protection, Anti-Marring, Slicker Feel, Etc..

Another option is Turtle Ice Spray Wax, or EagleOne Detail Spray
Those are both around $5-10

Spray waxes are your friend! Just make sure you use one of the ones I mentioned haha

I learned so much about plastidipping in just a few posts, thanks Nick. I never knew it can be so complex! If I'm going to do my whole car it's best to leave the job for the pros. Your work looks perfect bro. I've seen a few dipped cars in my area and they looked terrible, these guys probably did it themselves out in the driveway lol

Nick as I have said before you rock my friend. I will let you know when I'm good to go...:tup:

Hi Nick. How did you install the sport spoiler? 3m Tape? Was it strong enough to hold it down? Thanks
