Small Plasti-dip Project @ Extreme Power House

mike@x-ph.com · 03-12-2014, 11:08 PM

So the guys at our shop were bored last weekend, they decided to plasti dip one of the cars here from black to matte white.
i thought i would share the pics with you guys
the car looks better in person we took all the pictures from my crappy phone

Note: this is not a commercial sale since we do not sell any plasti-dip products.

Nice. I like how the upper bumper isn't really connected to the lower bumper... If that makes sense.

Edit: except in the last pic

Thanks.
we had mixed reviews about that decision, we ended up changing it

How many cans did it take to do the whole car?

E93FTW · 03-12-2014, 11:39 PM

Looks great! Would never guess it was dipped.

It looks especially good considering you were drinking and smoking. lol
I would probably just have said "meh, looks alright" too often.

That lci look goes well with that one! Cool little project. I can't believe 6 cans was enough, how many layers?

AlpineSwift · 03-13-2014, 11:34 AM

Typically 2.5 Gallons is enough to cover an entire E92 with 4 coats if you are using the dipyourcar sprayer. Pretty amazing to do this with 6 cans and still have left overs.

Sorry

i meant 6 gallons

It needs a lot more than 4 coats since we moved from a very dark colour to a very bright one
