Considering dipping my stock rays white. Opinions welcome..

Big worm · 12-30-2012, 10:50 PM

I really want a change of scenery so to speak. I think a matte white finish would look really cool/jdm/custom/etc. Plasti-dip also comes in white, so it would be totally reversible and only a few dollars to do. Either tell me reasons to go along with this or try to talk me out of it. Be brutally honest. Here are a couple pics of my car now, it would be awesome if someone could photoshop the end result to help me decide!

The problem with dip is that since its rubber it will discolor super easy

You will get better durability from powdercoating vs plastidip. Since you're doing just a basic single color, it won't be very expensive to do either.

If you plastidip, simple green works great as a cleaner for the white finish

That white looks delicious on the blue Z.
