Sort of, just make sure you do light even coats so it doesn't get the blotchy look.. Mine was like that but I ended up taking mine off

 

haha ok thanks for the input. Well i had a Russian paint my car, and he deiced to paint my front end with out wetsanding or even scuffing my bumper, hood and fenders, so my paint is peeling off like plastidip! NICE, nothing against Russians, (im Romanian) but wish they would put a lil pride in there work, my uncle paints, and im gonna learn how to paint, so hopfully i can repaint my car. and not spend to much, (reason my uncle didnt paint car is he didnt know how to a year ago)

 

bro im Romanian too.

 

gonna be doin this to my wheels thins spring. hate to be "that guy" but how much will it take to do the wheels? tried lookin it up, but cant find a definitive answer...

 

haha nice, i was born here, but my parents moved here when like 10 years old.

 

You'll probably want 3 cans just to be safe. I Usually go through 4 when doing my wheels but that doing all the spokes as well. 3 should be just fine.

 

Soo really debating doing the whole car black.. I know ill need like 20 cans but really rolling up with a flat black cobalt? When I had a red one yesterday pretty sick

 

They have car kits you know

 

Who sells them?

 

Plasti dip website

 

300 for a kit not bad not sure if its worth it who knows if it even would look good

 

So o bought a couple cans of black plastidip and was going to try it for myself. So I taped off and did a wheel off my car and liked the look except I taped it off wrong so I peeled it off no problem and it was fine. Well the other day I bought a couple more cans and decided to do.my hood for ***** and giggles. Well part way through painting the one can got clogged and spit blobs of plastidip in one spot that looked like ass, by the way I can't seem to get these cans to spray an even pattern to save my life. So yeah back on track I bought another can and went over it and had tiger striping of flat flat and semi gloss all over my hood. So I let it all dry and peeled it off only to notice the plastidip left gray specks all over my hood that you could feel when you ran you hand over the hood. I couldn't get it off withiugh had abrasion with a scrubber sponge like you wash dishes wih and that left horrible swirls all over!!! So not my hood looks like a 5 year old went after it with a scouring pad. Anyone else have an issue with plastidip leaving specks on their paint?

 

Ohhh noooo

 

Lol hahahaha, yea I've had it leave those specs, they come off nice an easy with a clay bar kit....

 

Weird I've used it before no problem but on different things and it came off clean. Guess ill have to break out the buffer and polishing compound.

 

Has anyone used the blaze purple??

 

Not that I know of. If you're going to do your new wheels with it though I would definitely say go for it!!

 

So down!!! im gonna buy a can first just to see how it looks

 

let me know how it comes out lol. I wanted to get a gallon of blaze purple and a gallon of black and mix it up a bit to get a dark purple. but then i thought wtf do I need 2 gallons of dip for cuz I wouldnt wanna dip my car that color lol

 

Yeah ill let u know and ill post some pics. But i think the purple from the gallon is brighter than the can

 

Yeah, the dipyourcar gallon is a little different purple than the blaze purple in the spray can. I think the blaze purple would be perfect for your wheels.

You can always do a base coat of white/black/gray to change the color of the purple to match better too.

Hers mine when I did it in '09. Wasnt the first but had it done before it seemed like everyone started using plastidip. Thinking about doing it again or just actually painting the rims.

 

Sup fellas! I did bowtie bar on my front grill 2 years ago, and I'm planning on doing it again this spring. I have a few chips in the plastic dip grumble.

What are you guys using on it after you wash it to get a nice shine? Mine gets some water spots, I love the matte color but I can never get it to look "new" again, I usually get streaks in it too if I put anything greasy on it to shine. Any products you guys recommend?

One thing I learned: tire shine is a bad choice haha

 

Also, any tips you guys have with removing the tape after spraying? I remember in order to get a striaght edge when I did my grill bar I used a utility blade to get a nice edge. Any other ways recommended?
