I have 2 gallons of gunmetal, 1 gallon of anthracite and 1 gallon of glossifier in my room. Still trying to decide if i want to dip my trans am or the cobalt

 

Cobalt!

 

I just dont know what to do about the door jambs. Im victory red right now so seeing an anthracite ss and then opening the doors and popping the hood and seeing red will look ghetto af

 

Well I am going to do white, I was debating on what to do with my black Ill probably need to do my jams also.

 

Do u think it will peel or scrape off in the jambs?

 

It is pretty tough, I don't think it would.

 

Im hoping not cause theres no way im taking a can of spray paint to them like some ppl do

 

I guess you can, and it will hold up.

 

I'm not doing jambs or under hood, no point if it's not permanent

 

Totally doin it. It will look so much cleaner

 

Will look the same when I take pics of it, mine aint a show car too lazy for that bs

 

Yea but when u open ur doors it will look like some ghetto ass paint job for 50$ in detroit

 

How often are you planning on chilling with your hood and doors open?
I've had my car dipped for almost 6 months and I hardly even notice the white door jambs.
Not worth the hassle IMHO because trying to peel all that tape while the dip is still wet would be a serious chore.

 

I think i would notice red door jambs when my exterior is anthracite. White wouldnt be bad since its not vibrant, but red stands out too much

Hows the dip holding up anyway?

 

You can give it a go then. Taping and peeling under the hood and those jambs is just going to be a major PITA.

Dip is holding up ok. Theres a couple spots that I've screwed up doing stupid stuff but other than that it's been good.
Door handles are starting to peel a bit but I feel that's pretty much inevitable.

 

Yea something u make contact with everyday is gonna peel. Did u gloss it or matte finish?

 

My driver door jamb is already yellow lol not worried about it too much. It'll look good in the grocery parking lot so I'll be happy haha

 

More power to ya lol. Im just too much of a perfectionist and see red everytime i open the door will drive me crazy. Im not gonna do it under the hood or trunk but door jambs for sure

 

Mine is just standard matte.
My next full dip will be a 50/50 mix of matte clear and glossifier with pigment mixed in though.
Hopefully happening in the next month or so. Just need to decide on a color...

 

Did u use their gun or your own? I have an expensive anest iwata gun but i dont know what size tip and needle to use and what my air and fluid pressures should be

 

I got the Earlax 3500 system form DYC which is the one they were selling at the time. I upgraded this past black friday to the new DYC system.
Gun worked really well other than one tiny little hole getting plugged up with dry dip.
The new system is much improved though so I would recommend getting it if you can't get your gun to work.

 

I most likely will since its built for spraying dip. If ur looking for suggestions, i like the light blue dip with the black tint. Makes a nice deep blue that would look great with a gloss finish

 

That light blue and black mix is essentially whats on my car right now actually haha. 3 gallons light blue with 1/2 gallon of black mixed in.
I've tested out a few pearl colors and I've got it narrowed down to these two I think.

 

I like that first one alot. The second one looks like pea soup lol.

 

Agreed that first one is awesome.


I got the Wagner sprayer from Home Depot for this job, looking forward to using it. We can use it to paint the house too so my father went 50/50 on it
