SO! Because I jacked up my trunk I've settled on Plasti Dipping the Hood, Roof and Trunk. However...I'm at an impasse as to what color I should do -.-.

My Ideas: Midnight Blue, Deep Red, or a Metallic Grey/Space Grey color?

What are your thoughts on what would synergize well with Black? I'm just trying to get some suggestions.

 

Copper, deep/dark blue, red?

 

OOOO! Copper! I'll look at that

 

your car is already black
do the trunk matte black

done.

 

But...but...I wanna do the GT Stripes on the Fenders and do a couple up the hood to the trunk Matte Black on Black would look decent you think?

 

I don't imagine this would come out nice with plasti dip.

 

I'm not confident but a matte black trunk with GT Fender Stripes and Hood Stripes would look better than a scratched up Gloss black Trunk with Touch Up paint and Bondo sticking up haha.

 

pay a visit to dipyourcar.com and see..before you speak. Its crazy options.

 

Save yourself trouble and get that all wrapped if you're serious. And do vinyl fender stripes.

 

I'll have to find a place that can do that and get some quotes. I forgot about wrapping.

 

Looks like it's going to be $200-225 to Wrap the Trunk and do the GT Stripes Matte Black. Not horrible..but for 75 more I could grab a trunk haha.

 

I don't think you can wash wrap.

if you can spray can..you can dip it.

 

I'd be retarded if I screwed up Plasti Dip eh? Easy stuff or is there a "sand down, primer, fancy paint gun, spray" kinda thing

I only say that because the Pro Kit on dipyourcar is 225.00

 

You'll be good with a couple cans.... no prep, just clean dirt and debris off.

If matte black looks good, eventually you should think of painting it, or you will have to re-do the dip every so often.

 

you can get a kit if you want (I did)

but I say get 4-5 cans.
remove trunk
set it up so you can spray in front of you. no weird angles

clean it make sure no moisture anywhere dirt/debri/grime

sand down those bondo job you did to an even surface

spray away. let dry, do like 5-6 coats.

 

cans will absolutely not come out as smooth as spraying with a gun. Dip gets a bad name because people don't know how to spray it and **** it up them blame the dip. Cans don't spray the same amount as spraying out of a gun so you don't get enough coverage and it doesn't peel as well. Also you will more than likely get tiger stripes with cans. Get a gun, practice with it and you'll get much better results

 

Just get it wrapped. Its not worth buying a dyc gun if your only going to do a couple of panels one time. Unless your like me or twoozofjuice and change color all the time, its not worth it.

 

Yeah I understand that. Wrapping is just A LOT more than even having it professionally dipped :/ $150 to Debadge the Trunk, Dip the Trunk, do the Fender Stripes all Matte Black Dip. or that $225 for Vinyl Wrapping the Trunk and doing the Stripes. Money is somewhat tight, I made a mistake so I'm trying to fix it in the most cost effective way :/

 

Don't put lipstick on a pig. Fix it properly first (unless you've already done that) then just whatever you want.

 

I would get it dipped correctly
I got the gun so I have no problems loading it with dip and spraying away.

 

Speaking of colors...I made a new color the other day and it's pretty sweet. In pics it almost looks like a raspberry with flake and such in it but in person it's got a purple hue to it and has a galaxy type look. Will be spraying it tomorrow to see how it looks over a light base.

 

post pics.
I should be redipping my car this weeeked.

 

Where do you dip your car? What color is it right now?

 

at my bros house in his carport.

its matte black right now, but in need of a respray

I want to redip it balck, then add the new top clear coat with some dipcoat....naptha bathe after.

 

Im still deciding on what pearl i want next. Ive got a solid 6-7 coats of white right now so i just need a couple gallons of the new pearl top coat they just came out with
