Well that doesnt look that bad lol

 

Hmm. I met someone with a balt a few months back that had dipped glowing wheels. It was really neat!

I wonder if thats legal lol. Definately looks awesome

 

Has anyone tried spray painting over plastidip yet? I got good results on a test piece. Opens up infinite colors. Still peels off too

 

Okay.
I kind of want to do my OEM SS wheels in glow dip now.

 

i would love my car dipped just like that evo

 

Lol yeah that evo looks nice, I wouldnt mind a dip like that

 

Kind of want to do my winter wheels in that.

 

<<<@!1!@>>>

People have done this plenty with mixed results.
It still "peels" but not quite as well as it would without being sprayed over.

As far as color goes. DYC has loads of pigment colors that can be mixed and matched to create the color you want.
This method preserves the peelability too.

I think they talk about painting over dip in this video.

 

Anyone mix pearls into regular colors? Wanting info on how well they mix or how much it actually alters the color

 

Very informative video. I had a much easier time with my stuff though. Guess it's hit and miss. I know one thing for sure, if I ever get a new car I'm dipping it immediately so the paint will be perfect when I don't want it anymore.

 

I've heard people doing this too. Not sure how well it turns out and I have a feeling it really depends on what color pearl you mix into a certain dip color.
This forum is full of info if you haven't looked already:

Gotta be careful dipping a brand new car too. If the clear coat is super fresh there's a chance the dip could eat through it. Have only seen it happen like once or twice, but it is a possibility.

 

ooh that would suck, having a new car, dipping it thinking its awesome, then right before you sell it for ultimate value you peel it to discover your finish is total ****

maybe wax it while its fresh, keep it in the garage covered for a month then dip it?

 

Yeah, that would be a bit of a buzz kill haha

I've heard it can take up to 6 months for the clear coat to be okay to dip over.
At least that's what DYC recommends.

 

Doing the whole car in hunter green with gun metal wheels. Will put up pics soon.

 

 

its definitely different. I think the gunmetal pairs nicely with the green

 

it's starting to grow on me

 

Is that just for winter?

 

Yeah I plan on doing a different color in spring

 

Oh, hey Fargo! haha

I don't think that green looks too bad honestly.
What color are you thinking for spring?

 

<<<@!1!@>>>

I'm not sure yet possibly black and blue

 

Did you buy the DYC kit? Or just use a shitload of spray cans??? lol

 

Id do the spray gun. Black and blue looks good.

 

My buddy has the dyc kit, I just had to buy the dip. I couldn't imagine doing a whole car with rattle cans.

 

How's your license plate mounted?
