    Spending money on nice aesthetics = reasonable
    Spending money on aesthetics = reasonable
    Spending money on shit/ugly aesthetics != reasonable

    Friends don't let friends plastidip

    Do it. Concept-Camo E30 = win.

    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.

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

    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.

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.

    Also: my lawn. Get off it.
