Why anyone wants the color of their car, whether it's a high-end exotic car or an old ass rust bucket 240sx, to look dull and faded instead of shiny and glossy is beyond me. 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. |

Plastidip is not really all that easy to peel off as they make it seem. The second that it sees wear and tear it becomes a bitch to take off.
For example, I painted my motorcycle's wheels with Plastidip. I had my wheels in the damn glass beader and couldn't get that shit off. Pressure washer? Nope. 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.

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. |

Because they come on zilvia asking what they should do to their car. Be an adult and decide what you want to do to YOUR car. Learn the pros and cons of YOUR choices and act accordingly. All these "I have 5K and I just got this car, what are the first things I should buy?" How about a brain and a sense of free will and don't come back crying when people call you a idiot for YOUR stupid ideas.

plasti dip is cool stuff but save your money and get a real paint job. or do it cheap yourself. if you decide to use it, wd-40 helps to take it off - it separates the paint
