Playing with plastidip - whole car

[TenSpeed]

Rattle is really bad, or it can be. OP looks like he nailed it, and for the first time, your end product is looking really good.

Looks good. Did you accidentally scratch the driver side pillar on the front bumper next to the headlight?

I had dipped it black over a year ago with a can and apparently didnt put enough coats on it, I couldnt peel it all off so I said EFF it.

this was more of a practice session, I have enough to do the whole car again.

you spraying through a wagner?

Was it a pain to dip certain areas or deal with the overspray in say wheel wells? My bud wants me to help him dip his entire car but idk haha

You could have used any adhesive remover to remove the plasti-dip, even WD40 works great for it. Looks like next time you should take out the grille so that you don't pull the rest of the dip off.

My mistake for saying Abdulla's car was PD earlier in the thread. I'm getting old, and I don't remember stuff so good anymore. At least I knew it was orange! LOL

OP, I am digging the ride. Great job! How much product/materials did this job require? And I'd also like to know if you used the Wagner sprayer.

I used the earlax 3500. I bought 2 gallons of black and 1 glossifier, and 1 gallon of matte clear, 100 total grams of pearl. I ended up only using 1 gallon of black. I mixed the. 2 clear gallons to get a satin finish and mixed in the pearl. 50 grams or royal blue, 25 grams of deep purple and 25 grams of electric blue . Also mixed in 1 qt of naptha.

I ended up using 1 gallon of the mixed product. So two gallons total
