Awesome, I'll see you then. Is it ok if the other guys come to watch? Also, I will need you to text me your address.

Should be fine, we got enough stares from the neighbors when my blue Z and Solid's red Z were parked out front. Will be funny what they say when there are like 4 of them. :rofl2:

oooh very cool, depending on the results I might have to see what my wheels would look like in white! I like how its not permanent and so far doesn't seem to damage painted surfaces.

Jay if the full car plasti dip goes well, I might try that one day too. It could work like vinyl and help protect the paint.

Amar might bring his Viper ;)

Yeah thats what i was thinking depending on how exactly the clear plastidip is, screw getting a 3m Clear bra, just plastip dip the front.
Even when you go on long road trips you could just spray a clear coat on it rather than using the blue painters tape :roflpuke2:

I think that might actually work pretty well. If you're using blue painters tape anyway, I don't think it matters how clear the plasti dip is :icon17:

True, I was just throwing it out there for the people that do use the painters tape.
Not saying that theres anything wrong with using the painters tape:ugh2:

guys just remember if and when need to peel this off to not use a power wash like he did

:shakes head:

sorry for multiple posts.. but this stuff seems to be very cool...

So I've been doing some experimenting with plasti dip and clear coat at home. Bought a can of each and have been trying it out on one of my old dumbbells. Put 3 layers of plasti dip on each side and a layer of clear coat on one side. The side with just plasti dip peeled off easily. The side with the clear wasn't hard to peel off, but there was definitely a difference in how the material felt and how it peeled off. It did give it a lot more of a glossy finish. I added another coat of clear on top of the first one to see how many coats we can do before it becomes too difficult to remove.

Ron, any idea how many cans I will need to buy? Doing fangs, rear valence, and roof with plasti dip and also using clear coat for the roof.

I have some pics of my experiment that I will post once I'm done.

1 can each for valence and fangs will be more than enough (4 coats). Not sure about the roof, I would say at least 2 to be safe. The roof and rear valence will be pretty easy to do, the fangs will be a little time consuming because of all the crevices. When I mean time consuming, I mean masking off the areas, the actual painting will be very very easy since it requires no prep at all.

Sounds good :tup:

Looks like we're good with the clear coat on the plasti dip. Now to be clear, I applied 3 layers of plasti dip and let each layer dry in between. Then I added the layers of clear coat after the plasti dip dried. I don't know if this is the correct way to do it or not. Should I try applying the clear coat while the plasti dip is still wet for a better gloss effect? Still have a few more days to experiment before it goes on the car.

The plasti dip does still come off after the clear coat, but it is more difficult to get it off. Not impossible, but for a large area like the roof, it might take a while. Should be easier since we will wax the car before hand. However, I have not yet tested it after long term drying/hardening.

For anyone that wants to come watch, PM myself or Masa your number so we can give you the address. We would like to meet at 9 AM to get started.

I've changed my mind about doing the rear valence, I think it looks better in PG. Starting to rethink the fangs too. I think I will do the fangs and roof for now and if I don't like them I can just take them off.

We're still aiming for 9 AM this Saturday, but if it is raining we will have to reschedule.

Yea I peeled off my real valence because I had second thoughts. The great thing about plastidip is the ability to simply peel it off. :tup:

Roof will be really easy to do, fangs will take the most part masking off.
If you guys want to see the video of me peeling it off, PM me your email and I can forward it to you, it is in .MOV format.
