Plastidip question!
 

Hey guys i know plastidip works perfect on smooth surfaces im wondering if it would work on textured surfaces? Like the one on the back of my car? I want to try and dipping it matt white since i have a white out but not sure if it would work?

Are you talking about the rear diffuser? I don't see why not. If youre worried about how it looks, you can peel/rub the plasti dip off anyway. Good luck!

It will work!! And if you don't like it, peel it off!!

I was thinking it might be hard to peel due to the texture? But I guess if it's thick enough it won't be a problem? :) haha I shall try it haha

You can use a soft brush to rub it off and it won't show any scratches.

Actually, it peels off easier when it's thicker. When it's too thin, it will peel in small patches over a few big ones.

Be sure to clean really well before applying. I would think the matte white would look out of place against the pearl, but who knows. Be sure to share pics!

Oh wow that's a neat trick I never thought of!! Thanks alot!

Yea the Matt white might look slightly off? Not sure I Wana try it out ill posts pics once I can get it done!

Not sure if I still have pictures or not, if I can find em ill post em but I plasti-dipped a few parts on mine White with Pearlizer and Glossifier, it was like 90% color match but my OCD got the best of me and I peeled it. With that said, I absolutely love Plasti-dip, I have it all over my car, just make sure you put it on THICK, like way thicker than you think, 4-5 thick coats. Makes it so much easier to peel if you don't like it, and makes it more durable if you do.

don't worry about the aftereffects of peeling it off you're fine

i say go for it. POST PICS WHEN DONE :)

If you're not sure about the color matching, just spray a piece of scrap cardboard or whatever, and hold it up to the car once it dries.

I did white pearl plasti stock rims on my whiteout. Not a perfect match but looks real nice when they are clean. Get very dirty very easily.

Thicker the better. These have 8 coats total on them. 2 coats white, 4 coats purple blaze and 2 coats of copper metallic.

whaaa?? ok, plasti-dip has way more paint options than I realized. good grief!

does it really make a difference to layer them like that? I would think each one would completely cover the other...

Thicker makes it easier to peel off!

If for some reason you don't apply enough, spray WD40 directly on it, let it set for about 10 minutes then hit it with a High Pressure Hose, it will come right off.

Currently plastidiping my emblems black. On 3 coats going for 3 more. Love this stuff.

Gonna be doing some on spoiler and fender trim!

The white makes the purple"pop" and the copper gives it color change from different angles.

Spokes were such a pain to spray with can.

Damn that's crazy@.@!!! I'm just waiting for the weather to get warmer it was pretty cold and rainy yesterday in Toronto :/ Canada has interesting weather patterns

Do it! I have a white brz and have been thinking about doing the same. I've just been scared lol. I've never used plastidip but have been hearing good things

Yeah I just dipped some interior parts that were silver to flat black. :) I wanted to do gloss but the place I get the dip didn't have any... I might have to order my dip online. Anyways it's pretty easy to work with!!! Peels off really easily if it's thick enough!

Post some pics!! lol and I found this online: https://www.dipyourcar.com/product.p...&cat=20&page=1

I'm just not sure if thats enough for that back bumper/diffuser

Unfortunately I'm not very good at photoshop and don't have my car yet so I would also be very interested in pics!

At the dealer I ordered my 86 at, there's also an option to have the front grille painted in the same colour as the car, although I will not change the colour of the grille, might ask for a quote to see how much it would cost to get the rear diffuser in pearl white (if it looks alright)!

Thanks in advance!

So any one try this yet? Also have a pearl white and thinking about doing this. Other option would be to plasti dip diffuser black and then high gloss to make it pop.

or maybe a metallic Anthracite that will blend with stock wheels....

Did my car with a basecoat of white (1 gal) and then 2 gallons of clear mixed with hot pink candy pearl from paintwithpearl.com

Unfortunately I would've needed a few more gallons to get full coverage, so it is a bit stripey/uneven. I also didn't get the strainer with my gun, so there is a lot of texture. I figured this was going to be a learning experience, so I wasn't too worried about it.

Try toofastmotors its a local shop. I think they have a lot of variety the last time I went. I also have seen that you can use goo gone and pressure wash and it will literally melt right off. Its all over youtube lol. It's especially good for are where there is an edge, since the plasti dip might rip there and you can't reach the other part.

ill never understand why people do this to their brand new cars (the whole car). this is awesome for those with a scratched up 98 civic, but for a car you bought months ago and had your choice of color?

I didn't see any pink cars on the dealership lot. :D

That's why I like plasti-dip, its easy and relatively cheap to play around with, and simple to reverse. It will probably never look like a professional paint job, but for having some fun with, it's great.

Not to mention the plastidip protects your paint from getting all scratched up...

It's the same reason why people do vinyl wraps on high end cars... Change the color/look, protect the paint, and you can take it off and sell it with the original paint in great shape. *shrug*
