White plasti dip + pearlizer + glossifier? = sfp?
You think it'll be close? Lol
I bought a lip kit and thought about using plasti dip + pearlizer.
Do you guys think it'll be okay?

Do you have a similar piece of ABS plastic or Fiber Glass to try it on? That'll probably give you the best idea how it will turn out. Just a forewarning, SFP is one of the hardest colors to match so results may vary

It looks pretty bad, IMO. It looks like a 30 year old white paintjob left to oxidize in the sun. White plastidip doesn't seem to work as well as the blaze or black colors.

It looks like he is shooting the base plasti-dip coat wayyy too thick/heavy or the product is too heavy for entire car application. I wonder if you can wetsand the base coat prior to applying the glossifier? That would have eliminated a good portion of the orange peel. One rookie mistake I noticed is he didn't wet down the floor when spraying so I imagine that car has a ton of fish eyes and junk in the paint.

Sanding also won't work because it's not paint - it's rubber. It's not a hard surface, all you'd likely do is rip it off the car.
