Welcome to the PlastiDip brotherhood! Looks like you did a really good job especially for your first Dip. Now go out there and get us a great photoshoot away from houses and cars. And get that thing posted up on the DYC forum, pronto.

Nice shoot! Keep it up!

So after dipping my whole car and driving around with it for awhile, I realized it wasn't perfect - the hood was jacked up. The doors had really small streaks that I wasn't fond of..

Anyways, long story short I made a video for you all to see how I fixed it and made it perfect... Take a look at the video in 1080HD.

that looks a lot better than it originally did! Didn't you have a shop do the work? did you say anything to them? that looked like a 10 year old laid that paint down!!

I didn't want to say anything before :wtf2: But you can really see it in the door on this pic.

Good thing is...the Plasti dip is easily fixable :tup:

NickTurnon 01-16-2014 10:26 AM

I did all the work myself. It was my first full car dip!

Also, the first 2 gallons were perfect. It was when I got to the last gallon, and was running out of dip and the whole vehicle wasnt even covered yet. So in turn, I went lighter, less dip, and it made a weird texture..

Anyways, its 1000% better now. And it cost me $18.99 to fix haha

Oh yeah!!! 1000x better. Sorry about the 10yr old comment! lol I remember my first couple times laying paint down. Took some learning! :tup:

keep it up man. Your build is looking great!

NickTurnon 01-16-2014 10:46 AM

Nah, you are all good - I enjoy the slight criticism! It keeps me on top of my game.

It was just hard because when I ordered the dip, you have to wait 1-2 weeks for it to ship from Florida.. So when I finished the job, I had no dip left to fix the bad texture. In return, I was debating pulling off the dip, recycling it with thinner/reducers and respraying it. My other option was ordering 1 gallon, but that is very expensive. Better to buy in bulk..

So I am just glad XYLENE worked and I was able to salvage my dip job! I am already starting to plan another color or gloss finish for this color - Probably after I see how the matte holds up in the AZ summertime/cleaning it etc..

carlitos_370z 01-16-2014 11:19 AM

Man love how looks your car in that color btw nice work my friend!!!

TerribleONE 01-16-2014 01:39 PM
