First off, yes this is plasti dip, thought I would give it a try, not normally my cup of tea as I'm a paint fanatic, I must say I like the different look of my car, also facelifted my rear.

M-Theory

If you didn't say it was dipped I'd think it was a great wrap job, looks good man and I always liked that if you want a change you can just peel it off.

Might look into this for my car.

That is sweet. If I may ask how much does a dip job like that go for?

very nice job! not a big fan of matte but since this is dipped, its all good. tried dipping my wheels before and it was a pita to remove. i probably did it wrong. hope you dont run into the same problem i did. you got some pics of the before and during? cheers!

You sprayed your entire C63 with Plastidip from a spray can? Holy crap. You either have huge nuts and a ton of money or...

I would wrap my car this color! Very nice job man

That's the beauty of plastidip. It's not harmful at all, and if you mess up, it's cheap to fix. I did an entire wrangler with about 10-12 spray cans, and they are $8 or so at lowes/home depot.

Don't like it, you're out under $100 and no harm done. Now, that looks like it was probably done properly, not right from the spray can, and done using an actual spray gun which can be bought as a kit from a few of the sites such as dipyourcar.com

Pics look great. But does it look "Plasti dipped" close up is the real question. If so I think it cheapens the car. Either way looks like a first class application job from the pics.

not a dip fan. if you like the look you should have it wrapped.

Looks fantastic ...

Dipped my wheels before looked great initially but a month later looks crappy. It doesn't hold up well and will chip easily and start to peel. And it is very hard to clean brake dust did not want to come off. Car looks cool but not a permanent thing will not look that good for long. Cool thing to do for a car show or somthing change color of your car for cheap

CarHopper

I bet it costs ~$80 to dip a c63 (or a car about the same size) if you're using a can.

Wrapping is what costs a good bit of money.

OP -- as far as dip goes, looks good in the pictures. In fact, probably one of the top 5 dip jobs I've seen through pictures.

Wrap is a waste for me, this was not applied from a spray can it was laid down through a special hvlp system, why would I pay somebody to wrap it when I did this myself with a friend, it looks damn near as good as wrap, took way less time and less harmful to my car, plasti dip is superseding wraps look up some of the professional jobs, they have this stuff looking like paint, it's crazy. The dip I used was a metallic base topped with their new top coat which allows durability, depth, smooth finish and water beads off the dip like a waxed car, when I don't want it anymore I peel it.

Also this costed about 400 in actual Dip alone not including materials and the sprayer system, a job like this would have costed close to 1000 if done by a "dip place" I will get some up close pictures, remember this is my first time doing it but it's pretty damn good up close.

CarHopper

We were saying rattling canning it would be cheap.

If you own the spraying system that is kind of nice because you can just keeping doing it and changing up colors etc.

How long did it take you guys?

nallishaw

Spraying not long at al, masking off it took me two days working at it little by little, I was very meticulous in my masking, when you walk up to a dipped car you always tend to see traces of dip in edges, dodgy lines, overspray, none of that on my job which is why people are convinced it's wrap haha

INS1GNIA

That looks extremely good. When I first saw it I thought "Oh, very nice wrap". They say that prep work takes the most time but when done correctly, it really shows. Great job!

hyperion667

that looks really nice, and from your prep description, it sounds solid too, well done!

AMG893

Pictures look great!

dchl21

this one looks good. but I see a spot on the hood close to the windshield and that would kill me.


again .. this one looks good.. but I would never dip a nice car such as c63. you will NEVER get everthing off... there will always be little bits stuck somewhere in the cracks.


I would rather spend that 500 on a nice polish job + opti coat.
