plastic dipping
 
Why does it seem that people think we want to plasti dip our cars so much?Was out shopping with my Wife the other day and came back to the car to find a business card for dipping<$600 for whole car>,looked around and saw that no other car near mine had card under wiper except for a Charger which makes sense since most of ones i see driving have dipped wheels that have faded to grayish black and are peeling around the lug nuts.For that matter seems like every other day i see bad dip jobs around<sure they look good at first but the amount of road salt that Maryland throws around over the winter puts most fast food places to shame.

Or for those with a strong eye for design and medium.

Look, anyone can do something, but not everyone can do something well.

Its fun if you want a new color every month and have the money to redo it all the time and do it properly.

LOL Start out complaining (or at least implying) about stereotyping and then immediately stereotype. You sort of answered your own presumably rhetorical question.

And those that just think the tail lights are just too damn bright.

Its kind of amazing what people can do with it when they know what they're doing.

When I did my masters in LA in the late 80s I saw lots of plasti dips.
