They recently came out with a new dip formula so you can use less dip with no base coat. You can get the whole thing done with about 2.5 gallons plus at least a gallon of glossifier or pearlizer.

 

I've been keeping track of potholes and frost humps on the northway and 90. Those are pretty much the only 2 roads I'm on anyways.

I really just want to drive it again so I made an executive decision.

 

Can you get me the link for that new one? I was on the page yesterday but didnt see that one

 

They are all the new formula now. When you receive the gallon it will say plasti dip spray instead of rubber dip spray. What color are you thinking about?

 

Im not to sure yet i have been wanting to do white for awhile now lol but i was looking at the chameleon colors and I'm liking them too. And i was looking at some videos yesterday and he was using black coats at the bottom before adding the chameleon ones and i think i saw one where he used gunmetal gray to paint a car white or something like that

 

Installed sound proofing material. Ripped out wiring for stupid underglow, next is throttle body cleaning

 

Dug it out of the snow

 

With the dip pearls you need a basecoat because its only glossifier with the pearls in it. For all the regular colors you no longer need a basecoat. I cant remember what the video is called but fronzie shows how the new formula sprayed.

Here it is

Get this stuff too. Its like a wax for dip.

 

Yeah ive been looking around the page right now lol. How many coats you put on? Also any particular place you had a hard time masking? Or anything you removed to not have to worry about it?

I might just try a regular color to practice and all that stuff then go more advanced lol im thinking a white with a hint of blue would look cool for me since my retros are blue

 

I took off the front lip, tail lights, side markers, mirrors, grill, and the cross beam for the high rise. The high rise is the trickiest part. You have to use your no fan setting alot with it. Also your prolly goin to have to use a razor blade to cut and edge along the dip on the small rear windows.

 

Yeah i was thinking of taking the grill off, taillights, sidemarkers i would probably leave there. So its ypur first time dipping a complte car?

 

Second time. This was my first dip job.

 

Lol it looks good but how did it come out in person?

 

If u spray it right it will come out super smooth. If you use gloss make sure you spray it very wet. If u just mist it on it will just look like garbage

 

So to get it wet it just means spray it slower no?

 

You can either spray slow or increase the flow of of dip in your gun. It can drip very easy tho so you have to be careful. Watch fonzies videos and just follow his technique. I think i did 2 light coats, 2 medium coats, and 2 wet coats followed by 1 wet coat of gloss. You can get about 1.5 coats of gloss per gallon.

 

That dip coat sure looks like it helps. I really wanna dip my car now lol

 

Thanks great info and well probably having the sprayer will help to see the wet application thing

 

Dipcoat is amazing. Makes the dip feel so sleek. Can't wait to try out the new topcoat. Also....dipcoat smells amazing

 

To start price is a bit high but hey you can dip all you want after that all you need is the material

 

A pic i took today after work.



Before pic since not everyone will see the OTTP spring thread

 

I kinda want these instead of yyz's simply for the fact I won't use the yyz's, they are made for track times, we only got drag strip up here lol the drop on these looks dope!

 

Ohh yeah the drop is perfect for me and the same reason here I wanted yyz but if I wasnt going to actually use them for what they were made for I couldnt justify the price of yyz

but thats the looks of the OTTP springs for those that didnt know

 

What size tires are you running?

 

Mmm I would have to go check lol im not to worried about tire brand and all that stuff like everyone else as long as they have thread left they are Firestone valera sport
