You won't have to strip off all the paint for your custom paint job. Just make sure its sanded and scuffed good. I know this cuz I do it all day, errr day haha, for my job. Plus I semi gloss cleared my IS350 after I repainted it the oem desert sage metallic color.

Plastic dip matte white m3

 

i searched but couldn't find it. but thanks goodness someone else did.

 

i love the cream white also. like that platnium white up top on the s2000. i wanna do white cause my wheels is gonna get gold dip.

 

thank you sir. very much appreciated

 

thanks for the advice bro. will it save me some money this way? and also if i paint over an existing color, will the color come out different from the color i choose?
that's real nice. does plasti dip peel easy? i wouldn't want to spray it and have it peel on me. how long does it usually last for?

 

Plasti-dip lasts a good long while. I usually Apply before road trips in place of painters tape and then peel off. Worth it to save my paint.

 

It's pretty durable but idk if it would last long if you're trying to paint your car. But then is it cheap and easily reversible

 

you plasti dip you hood and front bumper to prevent paint chipping huh? but wouldn't a little rock flying up hitting your front bumper at a high rate of speed still do damage to the plasti dip and oem paint?
huh never really knew much about plastic dip until my brother spray his grill black. and he told he could peel it off if he didn't want it anymore. i thought he was BSing me until i youtube it.

 

your rear tire looks really thin??

 

I am guessing plasti dip will last 1-2 years at the most especially at the front end where it meets a lot of rock chips. But when you get sick of white, you can easily do another color for about $250. Hell a lot cheaper than vinyl and it is easily reversible.

There are even repair kits if there is a chip on the plasti dip

It would save u money yes but no bodyshop would strip the whole car unless the paint was cracking or extremely oxidized. Most of the time the car will be sanded down with 320 to 500 grit sandpaper and then primer sealed right before painting. This makes the whole car one uniform color pallet to add whatever color base coat color u decide. Plus, primer sealing the car fills all the lighter scratches and smaller chips they might have missed in prepping the car for paint.

 

How about Indigo Ink Pearl (SC430), Sunset Orange (LFA), or Cement (Scion)

 

One of my favorites of all time OG IllMike from So Cal. House of Kolor candy!! It's been repainted another color now. Always loved the plate too!
