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.

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. |

Good thing is...the Plasti dip is easily fixable :tup: |
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 http://s29.postimg.org/tfxxcta9z/20140105_165346.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/uxjdodf0n/20140115_185032.jpg Also, I got my 370z.com decals.. Felt the HP Difference.. http://s14.postimg.org/e7z5vnxdt/20140115_185005.jpg |

[QUOTE=NickTurnon;2654252] 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! |
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.. |
Man love how looks your car in that color btw nice work my friend!!!
|
Nice shots
|
She's coming along nicely man, looks great!
