You are correct though that if you're only laying down 2 to 3 coats and they are thin it might not work well and you could potentially run into issues. |

Plasti dipping is a great way of determining what color works best for the car without having something permanent or messing it up. At least for me I tried quite a few different colors on my emblems and door handles and some didn't work before I finally did come up with the right combination of colors. Now that I have those colors set I'm going to have them painted since I know I'll never go back to silver emblems and handles. If it wasn't for plasti dip I would have never came to the conclusion I did so it was a great tool to use. Plus even if I stuck with plasti dip it looked great so that would have been the other option for me. I just finally decided that instead of re-doing everything every so often, I'll just make them permanent now.

No PlastiDip will never look as good as a high quality paint job nor, at this time, will it have the same glossy finish. FYI they are working on that....but I can live with that. |

Love it. Honestly not a big fan of the sky or the blue posted above. I really like the azure matte blue that get_lucky threw on his custom Z. Thats really the only blue I like. But I am picky, so my opinion doesn't matter all that much That white pearl looks great..
