Plasti dipped my 5.0 Tell me what you think

OP, cars looks great. looks like you did an awesome job. Love the color, too.

I was at Mustang Week, and was able to see some really good dip jobs, and some not so good ones as well. I am curious as to how well the dip holds up on a daily driven car.

Looks great! I think I saw your car on Instagram a few days ago. What part of Utah? I used to live down there.

That blue dip looks good!

 

[DILYSI Dave]

Looks great! I've been thinking of the idea of doing blue, you're making my decisions clearer lol

I want to dip my car again...just don't know what color to do. I had it a little over a year and only took it off because I messed it at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

What color is this?

I almost traded my car this week because I hate maintaining the black, and we originally wanted grabber blue anyway. Got a quote for a full wrap last week, still considering that, but this is so f'ing tempting.

Stripes are actually very hard to do correctly. This has to do with the dip and the tape that you mark it off with. It can be done, but it is difficult from what I have seen. If the dip bonds to anything, it will peel when you peel the tape, paper, whatever. Exacto knives and the likes simply do not work for this application either. This is tried and tested by myself. The dip is not meant to be cut.

It is ideal for full cars, separate pieces such as grilles, wheels etc. Doing intricate custom work, stripes or designs is going to be a pain in the ass.

Not to derail this thread, but I found this video to be very helpful.

You should be able to find a place that dips cars professionally. They should be charging 500-700 to do a car, which is MUCH less than a wrap.


The videos on youtube were very helpful!

It will turn out as long as you clean your wheels COMPLETELY.

Youtube dipyourcar and watch their video on wheels and how to get out texture or peeling. The vids help a ton
