So how's the durability/protection if you apply 3+ coats w/ glossifier compared to clear bra?

I used three gallons of light blue when i dipped mine and was able to do 4 whole car coats with enough left over to do a 5th coat over the front bumper and hood.

How about wrapped? :)

4 coats will civer the car but depends if you lay down a base or not. Mine has 5 layber with no base I could use another two layers

3 gallons blue. 1 gallon black
i may try purple or royal blue next. i'm going to paint over this coat so i have a nice base. i may also do more panda and do the whole front and back bumper in black. bcrc...

i use a pressure washer and sponge, no issues. you don't have to scrub as long as you soak, no different than a normal wash. well actually, you can use dish soap since you're not worried about wax and polish. it will stain if you leave it dirty too long, touch up... also if you get hot rubber from the track on your bumper you're not taking that off without taking off dip.

Hmm, as seeing both wrap and dipped in real life many times, a dipped car looks like someone with a crayon went over it. It looks good but wrap just looks...more deep and better looking.

Here's one of mine all the way in Perth, Western Australia.

yikes, maybe not.

Agreed man. That example looks so grim.

Mr.Jay 10-25-2013 11:48 AM

really don't like the look of matte black on these cars

I want to see a purple lol or a dark green

Deadspool 10-25-2013 12:16 PM

Maybe it was the lighting, or the potato he used to take the pics. But it looks more flat than the nice satin finish that plasti usually comes with.

Pretty sure @VIXEN has a purple vinyl wrapped twin, looks amazing in my opinion.

yeah but that's a wrap and not dipped.
