Dipyourcar's new Wide Flow nozzle makes plastidipping AWESOME!

Just tried this out tonight:

https://www.dipyourcar.com/product.p...&cat=13&page=1

It sprays twice as wide and twice as much product comes out at once. DOES WONDERS!

I had tried the hood of my previous car with plastidip and it came out like everyone elses....shitty with lines and streaks.

I did this tonight in 30 minutes.



Looks perfect. It was about 35 degrees in my garage, so i put the cans in a bucket of hot water which worked perfect to make the dip come out smooth. I did an amazing job, removed the tape and went in the house.

When i came out back out, the edges (because of the cold) actually bled and totally ruined the job. The front of the hood actually had plastidip dripped down off of it, it literally was too cold to dry!!!! So i managed to recreate a line with an exacto knife but its not satisfactory. Im going to leave it on for a day because it looks great from 5+ feet away, just to see if I like it.

With an exception of finger cramps, there is no reason why you couldnt do a full car with cans with this spray tip!

Wavy aka streaky? I did my cousins hd ram air hood and it was so streaky lol.

I was wondering about this nozzle since it came out. Thanks for trying it out. Seeing as how it was 100 degrees here today it seems like its perfect time to start painting stuff..lol

Leave car outside running to get hood warm, maybe to help dry from heat?

Only thing I can think of to help not waiting until summer

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.


And at the buy a gun or do it multiple times comments.....This is totally different!!!! Its so easy to lay it down, no streaks at all! I just did it maybe a pinch too thick and it was definitely too cold, heating it up will work great!!!

I wonder what the cost ratio for cans to gallons in for a cobalt? I would literally feel comfortable doing the whole car with cans if my finders didnt fall off. I have the spray trigger but you cant control the can as good for keeping a good angle on parts like the hood where you have to spray at a downward angle.

I was gonna say, I didn't get no streaks or waves when I painted my car. Then I noticed you were talking about rattle cans.
