Trying Plasti-dip on the wife car

Rudeja · 08-17-2013, 01:37 PM

Wanted to see how it would look, peel right off if I don't like it

Is there a way to get it glossy ??????

Get the glossifier but put some more coats on it...it looks fairly uneven

How many cans (Black) did you used to do the top?

notnow · 08-17-2013, 05:41 PM

Glossifier won't make it nearly as glossy as paint, it will look "sparkly" because of the rubbery texture of plastidip. At most, it will look satin.

Should vinyl wrap the roof instead. One of the few parts that is probably faster to wrap than to plastidip.

I will see how this turn out, easy to peel off if I decide to Vinyl

Also, when doing glossifier, it makes it exponentially harder to peel off should you be unsatisfied.

just4kickz · 08-17-2013, 05:53 PM

Looks good from afar, but when you look closely,
it has the zebra effect from using a can on big projects.
You should have used a spray gun
