Dipped my car the other day, very happy with how it came out.. What you guys think??

I like the colour but am never a big fan of the matt finish.

To me the light teal is one of those classic colours on a car.

Love the color scheme! Came out awesome. Did you order the pre-mixed gallons or tint it yourself?

Chaetagnath 04-23-2015 03:06 PM

I like it 👍

CAMBAM_6 04-23-2015 03:08 PM

I think the color looks good.
*personal opinion alert* I really dislike the black roof, mirror and fender garnish. Makes the car look unfinished. I would also plasti dip the wheels white, they would go nicely with the color you chose. Other then that good job! :w00t:

Just the intense teal gallons.. There was no tint needed, just 3 gallons of intense teal! And thank you!!

Shedd22 04-23-2015 03:17 PM

I'm embarrassed to say it but I like it. How's it look up close? Any blemishes?

KingGT86 04-23-2015 03:20 PM

No blemishes , came out very even. If it's something your looking into doing just make sure when your spraying it on make them nice even coats/ strokes that's all.

Turbo95eg6 04-23-2015 03:21 PM

You forgot the roof.

WhiteFRS69 04-23-2015 03:24 PM

im just not a fan of plasti-dip....

I'm not a fan either but from far away I think this looks good.

Donroy 04-23-2015 03:26 PM

You get my vote. Surprised at how well teal looks on the car

Ha Ha Ha. I have noticed it is always the guy driving the white car that doesn't like any other colour. Guess that is why they pick white in the first place.

BRZZZZZZZZZZ 04-23-2015 03:33 PM

I like it.

Ahah I know. It just feels right to be obnoxious. Maybe because I'm from Murica.

Oh dude, you will have to work much harder if you want to be obnoxious on here as there is some really stiff competition. Hell Cleveland is almost part of Canada anyway (although we probably just go around when we inevitably invade).

Hahahah. I laughed pretty hard. Bit of advice...skip over Detroit too. Wont stand a chance there.

chas3wba0 04-23-2015 03:47 PM

Don't listen to them. Black/teal is much less fruity than white/teal ;)

Were you going for the Tiffany look?

Yeah.. But the black kinda darkened the look, didn't want to go through all the mixing and shit so I just stuck with the teal.. I like the way it came out though, not to bright but just right.

Ponwh 04-23-2015 03:55 PM

it looks amazing. I'd total own one in this colour

As long as you're satisfied with it. I would have kept the roof and mirrors gloss black as well... would be a little too much teal otherwise. Best part is, you can peel it off and wear another color when you get bored of it.

And holy crap, the peace of mind from not having to worry about bird shit and swirl marks on your paint ~__~

Tcoat 04-23-2015 04:03 PM

I also like the black that remains.
My wife would be ecstatic if I went with that colour scheme. She got so mad when I got an orange car.

Same as her car:

Time to grab yourself some aftermarket wheels at least!
I don't mind plastidip... except on an all stock car, it makes it look a bit cheap.

Why not? They could check their sofa cushions for change and just buy Detroit. :thumbsup:


Sorry, back to what we were discussing. I actually really like the black accents, it really makes them pop. Like having a white car with a black roof and mirrors.

Mixing is rough. I made the mistake of buying a bunch of gallons and the dyes to make BMW M Sport colors for some people... the darker colors take a TON of dye.

Exactly why I stuck with just 3 gallons of teal lol :D

Really dig the color, but get it wrapped so it can be glossy. Matte is usually pretty meh.
