Simon+Kat Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Not sure if this a re-post, or if its in the right place. Takes some guts to just start spraying that stuff all over, end result looks pretty good though. I love the little cardboard corral, stops her bolting i suppose... Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Just bought this so I can start plasti dipping my car... Quote
Arran Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Are you serious dip? I really want to do mine matt white when I get the rays refurbished 1 Quote
Ebized Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 That's an eye opener..... Does anyone know how the price compares with wrapping? Very nice vid BTW Quote
Simon+Kat Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 That's an eye opener..... Does anyone know how the price compares with wrapping? Very nice vid BTW Fair bit cheaper i understand, a workmate is investigating dipping or wrapping his A4, he is Slovakian and has found wrapping is much cheaper back home, quality looks spot on as well.

rtbiscuit Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 The xkr is going to be dipped once the kits on Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Been researching this over the past 6 months. Check out dipyourcar.com he's done everything and it's all on YouTube. Seen most of his vids. You'll need 4-5 us gallons to do a car. So 19 litres max. You can buy 20 litres from £288 dependant on colour. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Are you serious dip? I really want to do mine matt white when I get the rays refurbished Oh and I'm very serious! Drove 165 miles to and from Colchester last night to pick up the spray machine. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Check out the Metalizer and glossifier... Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 It just seems...so...delicate. How so? Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 You can clean the car with shampoo and a special cloth... Or wash it just with snow foam... Quote
leonk Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I'm sure there was someone on E bay offering to do a Mini Cooper for £400. Edit. There's a few just search Plastidip. Edited March 17, 2013 by leonk Quote
OsakaBen Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I too found this 6 months ago, I've secretly been mixing a custom blue by adding blue pearl pigments to clear dip. I'm nearly at the colour I want Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Will be using the metalisers on the wheels as well, frustration is waiting to sort the rust and body work. Hopefully going in 3 weeks. Quote
Will370z Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Good luck with it bbk, be interesting to see what it looks like. Is this for the cop car look for le mans? Quote
S1 HNK Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 That blue zed looks hideous! I might try it on wheels but not the whole car. It will just look wrong. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Good luck with it bbk, be interesting to see what it looks like. Is this for the cop car look for le mans? Oh yeah baby! That and I'm gonna try it on my wheels. I'd like a change of colour. Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Could do! Would be great for timing! Quote
Arran Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Will see how you get on mate and go from there once everything I need done first is done Quote
jumping350 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I started doing mine last year matt white got a few pics somewhere was too cold in garage to get it to dry right, so am saving till its warmer or we get heaters lol done my wheels black with silver lip going on 2 years now and still good,your going to need crap loads of dip and patience but very doable and cleaning and masking off is key Quote
cs2000 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I cant see this holding up for very long on the front of a Zed to be honest. This stuff is cut-able and peal-able. One stone chip and the wind will probably start lifting it from the car...Maybe its OK for the bottom of the bumper like people seem to do but seems silly for an entire car. Quote

Its properties are not dissimilar to vinyl, and as far as I've seen wrapped cars don't suddenly unwrap themselves because of a stone chip Quote
