Hey guys, so last week i decided to plastidip my whole car. the reason i did it was because i had a good friend that actually did it himself, and it turned out really well and had no problems with plastidip on his whole car (after 2 years). also, i suggest you guys check out dipyourcar.com and their youtube videos if you're interested! (that's where we got the dip)

my friend and I have actually painted about 4-5 cars so far, and we're constantly getting new people who want us to paint their cars. but anyways, here are some pics.

Prepped and painting black base coat

Personally I like the stock K50 better but my opinion might be slightly bias. But it looks like it came out really good nice job. :bigthumb:

Also maybe some new wheels or a change in color, don't feel like the current color goes with the blue that well. Just my .02 though. Got to say to get a drop for the car as well I feel its almost necessary for our cars because of the way they come from the factory. But overall nice job.

Look so cool. How long does it take and does it go back to the original color if I removed the dip? How much?

Yup you can peel it off when you want. Its about $250 for just the paint + shipping, but you need equipment like spray gun and masks and all that stuff so it would cost a bit more.
