Have you ever felt the texture of plastidip? It's got a coarse feeling and is difficult to keep clean. You can't use a lot of cleaning products or wipe it dry with a towel. Plus, unless you have a lot of experience working with that stuff, it's going to show major imperfections.

Sure, why not? They sell it by the gallon pre-diluted to use with a power sprayer, and if you want it more satin than matte, they also sell their version of a clearcoat called glossifier. If you don't like it, you can always take it off. All you'll be out is about $200 and your time. Seems like a worthwhile venture. Just fyi - unless they have improved the white, you will need more coats to get the same overall color consistency as you would achieve will less coats of the other colors.

If you have to ask on a forum if you should do it to YOUR car then obviously you shouldnt. But coming from someone that s a dipped SC, I only did it to not have my car be different colors and b/c I like the matte look.
Plastidip does attract alot of dust and dirt, but it doesnt bother me since i was my car weekly anyways. Also a tip, take your time and do it just how dyc does it in videos or you will have rough texture to your paint.

While we are on the topic, how does plasti dip stand up to cleaning? I finished the bondo/primer on the side skirt(was missing a chunk) and am thinking of plasti dipping the skirts and the bottom of the back bumper(part that flows with the skirts)
