Plastidip in Cali help

So my friends dad gave him his old C6 corvette. The car is a salvage title but he needed a car and it's actual pretty nice... except for the paint.

Default Plastidip in Cali help

So my friends dad gave him his old C6 corvette. The car is a salvage title but he needed a car and it's actual pretty nice... except for the paint. Because it's a salvage title he doesn't want to put too much money into it. He wants to plastidip but they won't sell gallons in Cali. I know a lot of people have plastidipped their cars (although I don't care for the look all the much) and was wondering how they did it. I heard you can thin out cans, but that seems sketchy. Any advise is appreciated

Dipyourcar.com. I just ordered a kit with a sprayer and 2 gallons with pearlized for about 350. Tell him not to use spray cans it will look like ****

PS this is for a Honda crx so I don't really care what the outcome is. I would never use plasti dip on the nissan

Order from there and they haven't shipped it. It's been several days, so that's how we found out about the cali laws.

Wow. That's ridiculous. I guess it's an environmental thing.

dipped my franken-beater with cans, took about 6 cans total which totaled ~$40. looks like a$$, but at least my beater isnt a rolling rainbow anymore.

if your friend cares about the finish, but can't get the full kit, he may want to try the wider nozzle for the cans, i think home depot or ace hardware has it

But gallons from a place that dips cars. They'll fúck you on the price, but it's cheaper than cans
