brendonware Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Why don't you plasti-dip it? Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 What is plasti dip because I've seen it but not really sure what it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brendonware Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 It's a plastic based paint that is really cheap and millions of colours when you get bored you can peel it off like vinyl My boss has done his 300zx in matt black and it looks amazing! Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Farrell Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know somebody who sprayed his Subaru matte white with plasti-dip, took chunks of paint off when he tried to peel it off Ive used it for grilles, badges, but im not sure I would trust it on a whole car unless the paint was already ruined Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TurboTobz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I had my old V professionally wrapped... to those who say it looks shit I never had anyone guess it was a wrap it looked oem.but they don't last long they damage easily and you get better results with prep so you end up ruining the original paint job.The price isn't much more for spraying and I would always recommend that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
