My Future Paint and its Legality - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ztrevs · 12-03-2016, 11:19 PM

I want to hear your guy's thoughts...

I'm thinking of plasti dipping/vinyl wrapping my whole car... matte white or matte black (still hasn't been decided yet) as it's base.
Here's where things get interesting. I want to then cover it in that reflective paint they offer Plastidip Reflex or something of the equivalent.

Is it highly irresponsible of me? Probably.
Is it fucking hilarious? To me it is. Maybe its my age.
Is it illegal? I have no clue. (Living in Ontario)

The reason i want to do this is because it would essentially keep my car looking stock at day but ridiculously unnecessary by night.

Maybe im crazy. Let me know

Not illegal. You can paint your car whatever you want in Ontario.

But!

Don't go 1 kilometer over the speed limit, make sure you pass through every single light well before it turns red, come to a complete and total stop at every stop sign, signal every turn and lane change, and... well you get the picture. You may as well scrawl 'PICK ME OFFCER' across your car since you will attract the attention of every cop in the area and be just begging to get pulled over on the slightest excuse.

On a more personal note I think the idea is dumb as hell and would mutter "asshat" under my breath if I ever spotted you!

Well, you might not be crazy, but IMHO, you got a couple of dumb ideas.

Number one is entirely plasti-dipping or vinyl wrapping a new car.

The second one is using a reflective material ........ talk about shouting ..... COME KEY ME .......

Very solid concerns... I just somehow think this is a brilliant idea. People do the most crazy colour combos to stand out... some that are tasteless might i add... yet the most obvious way to stand out is to be a moving spotlight at night! Might I reiterate , the car will look completely stock in the day!! No harm done?

I guess there is a reason why it hasn't been done yet, I dont really count cars that have tron stripes...

If i ever see a fully reflective car now, i'm going to have to take credit for it.

I have seen terrible results on Plastidipped vehicles. Dont make that mistake.

MuseChaser · 12-04-2016, 11:26 AM

Just to complete the idea, maybe consider mounting a couple weatherproof PA speakers on your roof and blasting "Ride of the Valkyries" whenever you drive.

Ya, the blue and red will look really cool reflecting off that.

The idea itself is cool . . . for SEMA.

Target.

You sound like you're probably the worst person to know in real life.
