I think it looks terrible, just save up for paint or if your paint is fine then just vinyl it.

The white plastidip is very transparent .. like someone else noted you will need a lot more than other colors for coverage. Also the white "tiger stripes" VERY easy. I toyed with the idea for a short period of time. In the end I decided a wrap was best. Best decision I made lol. I've seen some white plastidipe cars and was not impresses at all. Just my. 02.

If your paint is fine, I'd put the money into something else. If it's like 3 different colors or so, dipping it wouldn't hurt.

I've seen a few Plasti Dipped cars and they all looked horrible. Vinyl would be a better way to go.

Plasti Dip looks good if you're doing small parts or sections of a car like trim or wheels.

from my experiences, the pictures always look better than the car does in real life.
