im not a fan of plasti-shitt, but there's a site called dip your ride or dip your car or something online.

check it out.

Yup, http://www.dipyourcar.com. You will have to special order pretty much everything except for red, black, white, and clear, which can be found at local hardware stores.

Put the can down and step away from the car!

I got some at home depot. its like 4 bucks a can. Not sure if they will carry that color, but its worth a shot.

I've used it a few times, But only on my grill and my Rear trunk spoiler, Looks good IMO and for 5$ why not. Just take your time and apply the 4-5 coats.

PRACTICE...

Its not the same thing as regular spray paint. If you don't know what you're doing and aren't used to working with it, it can come out terrible.

These are my wheels, a custom carbon gray sprayed with a gun, and its smooth to the touch. Yes, really.

Some rattle can rough job with black is not the same thing as a 'professionally' applied job that is 100% peel-able.

I plan to change the color periodically, good luck doing that with spray paint or powder coat

I had my subaru legacy Gt (previous car) plasti dipped a chameleon blue and it came out great, used a black base and several coats of the blue pearl, and switched colors about every 2 months. i paid someone to do it, i have never had the hand for painting of any sort. dipyourcar.com is definitely the site to get it, some of the stuff you can buy locally can be a bitch to remove. i could peel my entire car in 20 minutes. been thinking about doing the wheels on my Z black just to see if i want to go the blacked out route later down the road. the fun thing about plastidip is if you dont like it, it comes off :-)

i remember someone posting they painted plast-shittt on their silver or white car and when it came time to remove it, there was discoloration on the paint... so watch out of that.

Nick M · 09-04-2014, 05:49 PM

Because they didn't use a base color like black or white. Kind of like leaving vinyl on for 5 years and pulling clear coat off. Gotta know what you're doing and what you're getting in to.

kenchan: Yup that was me that posted. Had a professional (highly skilled) master painter do the plasti-dip (black) and it turned the silver on my car pinkish-purple. After about two months of being the the hot New Mexico sun it faded. But I would never again do plasti-dip. Learned my lesson. trackster22

Eh, I have it on my headlights; that's it though. People mistake it for satin vinyl (I used gloss on it). If you do a good job you'll get good results

For what purpose?

I think that's pretty illegal
