I only drive it in the summer so 6 months is basically a full year for me lol. Im thinking about the dark grey called Anthracite with glossifier... love that color

 

Well then that works out perfect haha.

Yeah that anthracite is a nice color. Mine will be something similar to that in the near future.

 

If it's done properly and you take care of it, the Dip can last a couple a years, like 2-3. Some of my buddies have their car dipped since 32 months.

 

How do you guys fix bubbles in the dip? Ordered the dip fix it kit but wanting to learn before it gets here

 

I did some test stripes last night. Completely eyeballed the tape as I laid it down. The tape didn't come off clean though so it ripped the paint off in places. I peeled it off this morning and will be more careful when I try again.

 

F*** it I'll just do grand sport stripes.

 

My best tip about dipping with tape... Peel the tape while its still wet if one cost and if more than one coat you can still peel after a coat and still wet and re tape if its not much, or take a plastic straight blade and cut the dip before tape removal.

 

Thanks! I didn't realize I could have done that or the hood stripes would probably still be there. I peeled the tape while it was still wet for these fender stripes. Plastic straight blade? Never head of that though. I found that pulling the tape as flush with the body panel as possible makes it come off pretty clean.

 

I just put the blaze yellow on my wheels just to see how obnoxious it looks and I actually like it. I will post pictures when I can get to a computer.

 

dippp

 

That looks nice what color is that^

 

Matte silver or whatever they wanted to call it lol. It's the one that dipyourcar did on the r8. I added silver holographic flakes to it though. Really shines in the light. This is right after adding dipcoat to it so it looks darker

 

Nice post some more pics when u can

 

Won't be putting full body pics for a bit hehe. Not ready to reveal the whole car yet....

Damn.. that's nearly the same color I'm going with next haha.

Guess the pic doesn't want to show. Look in cool pics of your Balt thread to see it
