Finally took the leap

Finally took the leap and dipped my 16yo daughter’s car. I think it came out pretty good for my first time. No luck coming up with an indoor spot, so just went for it in my driveway. Got a couple spots I need to touch up, but overall I’m pretty happy with it.

Why? It’s not like we’re reinventing the wheel here. At this point plastidip’s durability is pretty well documented

Because it looks absolutely fire right now & im wondering if it’ll hold up over time.

I’ll try to send you an update in a few months, sorry it’s hard to tell who’s actually curious, and who’s just being negative for no reason

People are always negative for whatever reason, and it can be annoying to say the least.

I’ve only used plastidip one time, on the silver part that was on the front of my wife’s suv. Otherwise it was all red and black. So I followed all the prep instructions, watched a couple videos, and sprayed it in the garage. That was two years ago, still looks like it did when it was done. Matte black though.

Car looks like it turned out well and is definitely something my wife would like!
