Blitz Black Turbo E30 (old thread was about Plasti-dip)

[R3Z3N]

Ah but the jams, engine bay and such....youth and very little eye for detail saddens me.

i did my trunk. doesnt rub off or anything. if you do have a spot that rubs off there is some kind of spot fixer on dipyourcar.com.

Well I'm starting to build my turbo e30 up more and more. That means I've been dropping a lot of $$$ it. I still have the two gallons of gun metal grey dip in the garage, So what I'm getting at is when I'm done with all the mods i'm going to dip my e30. If my car is the way I want it and fast, then why would I care about spending crazy money on a paint job? Will it make my car go faster? Will it make it handle better? No it wont...so when I get to it I will post pics up and before and after. Might be a few months but keep an eye out for it!

I just painted my mirrors, door handles, and the vents near the wipers. If it holds up ok for a year or so I will be happy. Its so easy to reapply.

I was going to do the other trim with krylon fusion for plastic.

I was thinking about doing hot rod black or something but I already have the plasti-dip

Here are some pics I found of that color







I've dipped a lot of stuff and have a lot of luck with it
I did a Vw roof





The wheels on my e36





It's been good so far.

The only thing i like plasti dip for on our cars are the spoilers. It brought new life to my
m tech after the rubber started cracking. Be warned though, it does not last, one wrong move and it starts peeling off.

I did the same thing to my m tech it came out great. I want to do the hot rod black paint but just don't know what to do with 2 gal. of dip lol

The wheels on my e36

Is that the e36 with the plaid headliner? I was the kid with justin when we put it on. Your e30 made me want one ahah.

Spray your interior & trunk.

That hotrod black is actually John Deere blitz black. Looks sick!

Haha it sure is, did you pick one up yet? E30's do that to people by the way!

Hopefully I'm picking up another 318is this weekend that I was going to dip gun metal, but my turbo m20 e30 needs that blitz black I think....

I've been considering doing this as well, even the same color.

Watch DipYourCar's videos on youtube. They had one on there with a car that had been covered in blue dip for 6 months and they were pressure washing it..paint didn't peel or anything.

Its stronger then most people think, holds up better then paint against rock chips too. My kidneys are plastidip'd black...the grills are painted black with normal paint. The grills have rock chips all over from various road trips. Only time the plastidip has had a blemish was when I took my hood off to work on my car and I slipped and hit the kidneys with the hood.

That and I've seen some done around Houston area and it looks like a wrap, would never know it was plastidip.

I'm all for it, do it and let us know how it comes out. Guy in the vid says if you spray it correctly and layer it enough, it holds up well over time.

Yeah that's what happened to me I was at a show and a kid had his e90 done black and said it was like that for 6 months already looked awesome. That's when I started to watch the "Dip your car" vids. I understand its not permanent, but all that talk about it rubs off easy, so what that means is I should avoid scraping it up against thing like you would real.............paint. I'm going to spray it with a real gun, with air, in a contained area. It should come out nice, if not oh well I can peal it off and spray it.

Not yet, still shopping, hopefully I'll find one by the spring. :up:
