Whole Car Plastidip
I can't believe I'm asking this, but has anyone on here dipped a whole car? As someone who was never a fan of plastidip, I think the time has come to experiment on my own. With all the funds I have invested in my T/A so far and other projects (home and fixing other stuff to sell), I just don't foresee my car getting the decent paint it deserves for at least a couple years. The car's paint isn't terrible, it just shows wear of a 20 year old car. There are two small dings on the driver side, scrapes on the plastics on the front bumper and ground effects, and the pass. side quarter panel has peeling clearcoat. I also did the CETA mod and my brand new SLP ram air hood in semi flat. Both came out pretty damn good for no clear and just wet sanding in my shop between coats.
The car is red and I'm considering flat red or something. There are a lot of neat colors out there but I heard red is the worst for coverage. I don't want a ricer and shit look because at a distance, my car is not terrible. I have a couple decent paint guns and access to a large compressor, but am considering buying the DYC kit with their gun. Why not paint it myself you might ask? Because I'm not competent enough lol. Not looking to rattle can the dip though.
Anyway, I'm on the hunt for dipped cars, specifically in flat red or red variant. I don't know if I'd consider any other color, truthfully. If someone has a picture or did their car - please share and post your experience and procedure. It may help persuade me to the dark side.
