Experiences with plasti dip - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What do you want to know?

I dipped my whole car yellow. Deff some flaws as I was figuring things out but now I've dipped a couple other cars and have a pretty good general idea.

I have also done a bunch of the colour combos as well

Edit: I would buy from home depot if you don't plan to dip your wheels any of the newer vintage colours as you can order all the regular anr blaze colours from home depot (order online and pick up at store) shipping is free if its over 60 and wait time is a lot less than dipyourcar

A guy from Portland came to last week's 86 nights meet driving a FRS that was plastidipped flat orange. Most dipped cars have a very rough texture, but this car was much smoother, and the dip was spread evenly with no heavy spots. Basically, he did a top-notch job, and it looked really good, almost like a wrap when standing 1ft+ away. He was also a professional auto body guy so that probably helped.

@Chen why not talk to kevin on how he did his?

Kevin bought the spray gun kit.

Well as of now I'm curious on how to remove it. The first coat sat to long and when I peel it. It comes off in small chunks.

I am very tempted to dip my winter wheels (05 wrx) black, maybe with the gloss stuff.

Actually interested in dipping my car a different color too =D. Been watching some videos on youtube from Dipyourcar, but have no experience doing it myself. Is digitalassasin's car dipped? I'll have to see it sometimes to see how it looks.

For anyone that has dipped their stock rims, did you take off the wheels and dipped the back of them as well, or did you just do the front face of the wheels along with the sides of the spokes and left the inside of the wheel the way it was? I'm asking because I'm going to be dipping my stockers as soon as I get the winter tires on so I can give the wheels a little more protection.
Is the dip going to be really vulnerable if i don't get the back of the wheels as well?

His car is dipped. Looks great imo. I want to do it to mine as well.

My friend and I just spent all of yesterday plasti dipping his 1991 Toyota Pickup and we did an awesome job with the black....then he ruined it by trying to clear coat it

It's a great product IMO
