    Also: my lawn. Get off it.

      The idea behind this hooliganism is so that they can paint the car later. IDK where OP is, but in my personal case, E30 are not indiginous to my area, and I usually only catch fleeting glimpses of them in the wild. that being said, schwartz is the best color ever known to man, maybe tied with hellrot, and if someone was selling a bronzit e30 in my area and I wanted another one, well you can bet I'd buy it. Maybe I'd leave it bronzit for it's originality (most likely in my mentality), or maybe I'd have a full schwartz paint job done (most likely not). the same principle applies to the anti-DB crowd.

      The point is, e30=rare in some places= buy it before someone else does= go from there. some owners don't care about things being original, but they care about it being the way they like. I don't mean to insult anybody.

      OP- there aren't that many flavors of plastidip. what color are you planning on painting the car? pick one close to the paint color and see if you like it or not.

      That is all, my friends.

          Yeah, like Mike said, I didn't go looking for a bronzit. E30s are rare cars around my parts and this one found me so to speak. Hmm clear plasti dip, keep it bronzit and maybe I'll take up bridge on Thursday nights.

          I might do the gloss dip finish on it, not sure yet.

                That DipYourCar guy on YouTube has turned plasti dipping whole cars into a business. He has a bunch of colors and even a tinting kit to make any color you want.

                    Paint it a Volkswagen color, since that's where this whole plastidip trend came from. :roll:

                      Clearly, Hotdog. 80% of voters chose that option. And what R3V says is law, obviously.

                      P.S. R3V= the Plasti-dip police

                      P.S.S. Ive always wanted and excuse to use the chase emote.

                        Find the wrap they use for disguising new prototype cars, the crazy black&white design. You will have the paparazzi running after you all day. Either that or: art car wrap

                            Spending money on nice aesthetics = reasonable

                            Spending money on shit/ugly aesthetics != reasonable
