Doing your car black is a lot easier than doing white. It will take a lot more plasti dip. He tried to do his car white before and he was at like 20 cans with only half the car done. If your doing white I would get the spray kit.

I wonder if you would be able to mix a gallon of black with a gallon of the fluorescent purple to make it darker. Or maybe even with some gunmetal grey so it wouldnt be that dark. I would deff do that if it was possible

I <3 plastidip. F all the haters.


Im really debating doing it to the whole car but not sure which color, either going to be yellow or red. My girl gave me the idea cause she knows i did yellow ss/tc sedans, so she said "why dont you just use yellow plastdip for now".

might actually work.

I did the evo mod, and since I work at a carwash I spray my car down quite often...I have used highbeam on it still holds up well..not sure about the whole car..I would say it would be fine after a month of being on, the longer its on the stronger it holds

Looks like glossifier makes a pretty noticeable difference to me:

Yeah the gloss is still wet in that pic. Pretty much all paint looks glossy as soon as you spray it on. Even the flat black looks glossy until it dries. Let me find a pic of my wheels when theyre already dry with glossifier on them
There ya go. Gunmetal with glossifier. Didnt see much difference after putting 3-4 coats of gloss
