I've heard that bird crap doesn't sit well on plasti dip. Can anyone confirm.

Westopill,

For washing a dipped car, I use 2 synthetic chamois (the absorber) - one for washing and I the other for drying. I mentioned on your other post if white dip, you would want to use a base color such as silver or gray.
I've had my IS300 dipped about 2 months using DuraDip. DuraDip is made for automotive applications...Higher temp, UV protection to resist fading, smooth satin finish. My IS300 was dipped with DuraDip Topaz blue with custom dipped bronze wheels. |
i would go for it man !

I'm probably not going to dip my car for a while. Maybe in a year or so when i have more money. I am going to dip it for sure, it's just a matter of time and money.
Around what price range was your whole dip job? Did you do it yourself, or have someone do it professionally? They made a video on this job... You can click on the youtube link above for the vid. Enjoy and let me know what you think. |
That's so cool! It's awesome that the people who did the job made a video of it. And 850 isn't a bad price. For sure beats paying more than my car is worth for just a paint job that'll lower the value of it. Personally, I'd probably do it myself just for the experience.

If it wasn't oil based I'd be okay with it. I would only want something that will come off easy when the time comes, and even with a good coat of wax I just can't see plasidip thinned with naptha or ?
Being any good for the clear coat. Now if it was a nonharsh water base that shouldn't hurt a thing. I for one don't like the idea of water base anything in paint. If its not dry super good it can blister in freezing weather. But for a simple protective coat of a vinyl or plasidip it would be great. |
This might be a better option.

If you want to plastidip a badge or a grill surround (like I'm planning to do soon), go for it!
I plastidipped my "awd" badge red on my is250 to create a bit of a unique look... Its been on for almost a year now thru all the seasons and has been fine. I did use about 6 coats on that small awd badge, so you may want to stock up on a bunch of cans if you're planning on doing more than that :cool: |
