Plasti Dipped my Z !

Englishmandan · 11-07-2013, 12:15 PM

Full flat black Dip, wheels and all !

It looks great Dan!

From the pictures it looks almost dark grey. How many gallons did you use?

Also, did you take photos of the process?

P.S I am sure someone already mentioned it to you, but why not just use a clear matte gallon since you already had the black as your base coat/starting color of the car? Could've saved you a gallon(s)?

Thanks Nick,

The color does look more grey in the pics, but in person it's darker. I actually didn't do it myself, I had it done at a shop. Not sure about how many gallons, and I'm waiting on him to send me pics of the process.

I'm super happy with it.

I actully like it because it looks like they took their time and did a good job with the process

Worst case scenario you can always remove it later and in the meantime it's just protecting your paint!

that's cool man! I ordered some stuff from there website yesterday to do my diffuser and fangs after my bumper and new lip is painted. I got their spray nozzle, which looks like should help to lay the paint out nice and even. I decided to try there tail light tint too. I was going to do it anyway, but the smoke product seems to have a look that I like better and I won't have to remove the lights to do it! Not to mention it was only $8 to try! I got the Charcoal color. I'm going for a dark flat grey look to compliment my 40th's color.

Looks great buddy...first time I've seen the rear fogs and exhaust dipped.

Captn Worley · 11-07-2013, 02:20 PM

looks exactly like my wrap.

Looks good. It'd be interesting to see one done in the new Anthracite metallic that they have.

I wasn't sure about getting the pipes done, but the guy doing it said I would love it. And I do !

He really did take he's time. He had the car for 3 days, and kept posting "teaser" pics online while he was doing it lol
