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

[Poorboyz]

I'm dipping my car because I want to do something different, I have a booth that I paint out of and have paint. I would rather dip my car now so I can focus on putting my turbo and megasquirt in. When that's all done and I feel like it I will really spray it. I'm doing it one day this week, I'll post pics of the after math!

Any updates on this? Can you post up some pics of he finished product?

Thanks

seems like a big waste of time and $$ since it wont hold up and will rub off

I don't like the flatness of the plasti dip so my final coat I put on dry to get a textured look. Here's my A's done until I have cash to properly powder coat them

There still a bit wet and the flash washed out the black a bit

My friend plasti dipped his wheels on his benz and they held up fine for over half a year... he sold the car so who knows how they are still holding up.

Seen it done. Have used it myself. Personally hate the texture. More useful for insulation & sound deadening.

So I can Plastic dip my rims black? How well does this look and hold to the rims

Done on my weaves holds up fine. Had it on for a few months now.

I doubt it'll last too long. Wheels can get pretty hot, but i've seen people do it. Give it a shot and see what happens.

My review w/ plastidip.

Sprayed my grills because they were sun faded, and did a couple coats. The grills came out better, but wasn't totally content. Plus, since its textured little fuzzies and such get stuck on it.

I tried it again on my mirror, and did about 3 coats. Let it cure overnight. The next day or two, I saw a flapping on my mirror. One layer had peeled off from the wind. Also, it was hard to get a dark even coat (possibly because the can had <50% left, so the less it has the worse the spray pattern.).

Im not too content w/ plastidip, if I really start to care about restoring stuff I will just use sem trim. Sem chips, but atleast it stays black.

doesnt seem worth it do plasti-dip a whole car.

Spare yourself the time and money: I sanded my mirrors with 400 grit and used spray Plasti-dip in May 2011. They look like complete shit as of May 2012. Plasti-dip does horrible in full sun exposure and yields at the slightest contact.

Rattle can can look decent, and even if you know how to lay paint. This is just Duplicolor primer. I did this maybe a year ago, still looks ok when clean, though it gas faded a little.





Not bad for a total cost of ~$50. Would real automotive grade paint look better, heck yeah, at a much higher cost. Once the body/major mechanical work is done it will het a "real" paint job, until then this is fine.

don't use primer it will have a shit finish, should just spray it with satin black if your gonna spray can it.
