well after 6 years of having the balt with all the door dings and rock chips its time to think bout paint options..i just cant see spending 4k on a paintjob for a 7k car..what do you guys suggest..i'm leaning to trying to vinyl wrap it myself

 

color options are matte white..satin black..army green..???

 

cf vinyl.....the whole car!

 

a flat color would bring out the dings an such more I would think

 

plastidip it white!! lol

 

ive worked out all the dings now i have 6 primer spots..a primed driver side fender and a non painted oem bumper and lip

 

aahh... well yea, take care of that but the plastidip doesnt seem that bad... I wouldn't do a flat black, or white... would be 2 plain on the balt.. maybe a flat blu, teal or somethin..?

 

Don't do a flat matte on the Cobalt, it looks hideous.

Just go to Maaco and get a $1,000 gloss white

 

yehh apparently there are some shops around now that are becoming authorized plastidip painters so maybe that could be another option depending on how much they charge? :O lol dont think they would charge as much as regular paint seeing on how you dont have to sand and do other shenanigans to it. Also if youre a pretty good painter id say just dip it yourself! lol if you mess up just take it off and do it again. Would be like 300-400 maybe if you dip it yourself. prolly less..






someone
dip
their
cobalt
nowwwwwww

 

doesnt plastidip peal off pretty easy

 

it does, but doesnt... ive got it on my rims now, an its held up thru this crazy rain **** an a (mild)high pressure washer

 

if youre actually trying to peel it off and stuff. you have to pull on it to have it come off. but uhh theres people that already have done it before so dont think they would keep dipping their cars if it would start peeling on its own. ill post a pic on how you have to pull on it so it can come off lol

edit: here pulling pretty much all it can stretch before tearing it




edit again: that was only 1 coat of dip with 1 coat of gloss dip over it so it was really thin
