The problem is that people are plastidipping their cars as an alternative to a proper paint job and what's worst is that they actually think it looks good so they leave that shit on permanently. |
exactly. it's beyond you. leave it up to zilvia to tell what others to do with their money.

I had to sit there with paint remover and a scraper for half an hour per wheel just to get it off all the way. I can't imagine "peeling" it off a whole car.
And -- it only looks good on certain parts of a car. It should not be used as a paint job. For example, friend of mine has a white WRX and he painted his badges with black plastidip, looks good.

it's easy, if you're not retarded.
i've done it on a dipped STi. he takes it up to the mountains and wanted to keep his perfect OEM paint in perfect shape. It also took the damage of a ding, where someone decided to open their door and hit his car with it.
