Looks good, but I hope you applied enough layers.
Last time I had to peel off the dip from one of my cars, I was cursing profusely throughout the entire thing. It constantly broke-off, instead of a single sheet as they advertise.

if you have the problem of removing it because it was applied to thin, they have a spray on remover now, you just spray it and let it soak, then you can power wash it right off, well it looks that easy online anyways. It is horrible trying to struggle to remove the thin layers on an entire car =(

I was thinking about dipping my car for the heck of it, now that snow-wrecked my car and have several different colored pieces to put on I'm DEFINITELY going to. I wont do it without the gloss though, I'm not a fan of flat anything.. Looks good man, all the youtube videos make it look so easy to apply and remove.

This came out better than most dips i see. Original paint did seem good but pictures dont show all the things we notice with our own cars. Nicely done... Reversable option which is cool but i believe if u wait too long to remove it you will need a fresh paint job after the peel off.

Someone brought up a good point about pollen and what not... Never thought about that. I'd imagine it sticky to the texture more than paint and then with the extra rubbing to get it off here comes some peeling? Either way it came out nice. White is better than their black thats too dull for a whole car imo

Thats kind of like the "stanced/hellaflush/lot-lizard/speedbump-ornament" fad...I dont get it, dont care for it either, but to each his own. Could be worse, it could be bed liner

I have yet to see a dipped car that was prepped correctly look bad. I have however seen several in person that I thought were vinyl wrapped.

That looks really dope ! Good job !
Did you use the spray gun or out of the can ?
I recently sprayed white dip from a erlix paint sprayer (cost about $400 for the sprayer) I found it works way better than the gun from dipyourcar.com
However we sprayed it onto an Grey IS350 and I found out the hard way that it takes way more plastidip to get the white finish to look nice with a dark base.
With your factory white paint on your SC it must've been a breeze. wes459
good job brother

Turned out amazing. Your lucky with the car you have.. I have the same exact taste as you, and would have LOVED your color combination. white/black. I got a black/tan and have grey wheels that look super similar.

You sir are one LUCKY person for owning that beautiful combination of color and rim color!
