Hi was thinking on plastidiping my car because the guy give me a good price! What do you guys think should I do it or NOT help please!

Search the threads. This has been asked and debated frequently.

I say no. The texture is not nice and makes the car look cheap imo. I plasti dip my grill and wrapped my LED surround and you can clearly see the difference

Pics?

i wouldnt pay no one to do it. i would do it ur self. practice a little bit and u can probably paint it really good. and if u dont like it. u can easily do it again again.

What a coincidence, I just bought a can of black plasticote last weekend while at OSH. I thought I'd give it a try. I Hope it peals off easily if I decide to remove it.
Altjough I think wrapping or paint looks better, It may be easier to tape off and paint the plasticote vs cutting the wrap to exact size and fitting it over the curved surfaces of a grill. I ll let you guys know how it goes when I find the time to try it.

I had a fun project car and I plasti dipped the entire car, given I am no professional but IMO I would not want that material on my c63.

Thank you guys for your opinion because I don't know what really to do because I saw the job this guy did on 335i, jetta and gti looks really good ill post pics laiter today but it's not smooth like vinal other then that really good all the corners are wrapt really good looks like a good paint job!

poor car.

_timothy

get a proper matte wrap or dont bother.

dont have picts up close to compare the two on my car, and I'm away so couldnt go out n snap one, but here is a pict of my buddies charger.



its cool and all and for 300 bucks not bad but imo it looks a little cheap. park it next to a wrapped car or a painted car and u will quickly see the difference. heck even if u look up close you will see the difference (more so than in the picts)

i would just do the wrap!

+1 above. It might cost more, but the wrap is the way to go.

come on man, you're not driving a civic...

Goni C63

I agree with you guys but for$300 vs $2.5k just to try it out and not bad but you can't compare it to vinal no way I have my roof done almost 4yrs ago and still looks like the 1st day I have it done

Looks horrible don't do it. You can buy right tools and vinyl and try to do a wrap by yourself if you have enough patience.

I did my motorcycle for ****s and giggles, and I get more compliments on it now than I did prior.

While it may be cheaper now, I don't even want to think about how hard it would be to take it off of the entire car when you get tired of it or when it's time to sell. The extra aggravation later on may possibly outweigh the extra cost vs. vinyl.

There's that thread of the Infiniti with the white plasti dip that I believe ruined the factory paint when they wanted to remove it.

Nice! I like it. You should black out the rearset as well.

AlbertWB

I've already ordered black rear foot pegs and brake/clutch assembly. Debating on which color for wheels.

I've been working with Plasti-dip for some time now and I've never had any issues what's so ever with it. Its a very very forgiving product and tough as nails. Never once messed up any clear coats on any of the vehicles I've it it one. I've done my bike about 7 or eight times, not once have I seen the slightest fade in clear coat. It always looks the way I got the bike from day one.

If your bike is all black, I'd go for something that really pops.

Plastidip on hoods and all parts that get abused by tremendous heat extraction, wich is the case here will for sure, sooner or later burn into the clearcoat...all I can say is, think about twice before you do that.

Hey, thanks for the links. Perhaps others just "did it wrong."

AlbertWB

Plast-dip is rated up to 312 degrees. I've done exhaust tips before and its held up just fine.
