Default Thoughts on Plastidip???

i came across this video where the guy plastidips his whole car... he made it look too easy just wanted to see who used this stuff and how good do you think the outcome could be doing the whole car....
here are the links to the videos
thought maybe it was worth a shot because if it come out bad just peel it off....

One of the suppliers from this company is in my city. Did his whole car and a couple local cars too, looks decent, for 400$ can't go wrong... In a little while I would do this to my car, in white... But I can't wait till the offer the glossifier in this setup. I don't want dull paint

Don't waste your time or money. It will look great..... for a few days, then it slowly begins to look like ***.

i dont know about the whole car... parts yes but i dont know bout the whole car. I just got the black plasti and the glossifier again for my grill again lol. Last time i did my grill without the glossifier ... liked it but took it off when my rims came in. The best thing about this product is you can change your mind a couple of times and its no harm no foul.

just like on the rims it should only be a temporary thing.

if you want longer lasting try vinyl wrap

I tried doing it and just ended up spending money on the paint and had to spend time taking it off. I don't recommend it. The finish isn't that great. My 2 cents

Also I was watching a dif video and they say if you spray the glossifier over your oem paint that it will make it matte... How is this possible? Glossifier makes it matte finish isn't that backwards....
