Plasti-dip is for sissies and kids with no balls.
Be a man and use paint. Yes, that's my car. Yes, it's paint. Not dip Not from a spray can. Yes, I love it. Argento sucks. |

@TeamZleep
I'll be straight up. I was at simply clean. I saw your car. The paint job is far from clean. I really hope you were kidding when you said it's real paint. I'm not trying to be a jerk or asshole, but I see Civics with better dip jobs. In fact, there were a few there. I can't comment on the interior as that's a personal thing. I love the tail lights though. In fact I've been pondering the idea for months now. I couldn't before since my tails were fogging, but after seeing your car (and having had recently replaced the lights), I went and got a can of VHT red. I might spray them over thanksgiving.

You're honestly the only person to say it was anything other than nice. Now the rear diffuser and muffler on the car that day... Sure. You can dog on that. But as far as the rest of it? I'll leave criticism live as such. |

I was only referring to the paint job, nothing else. Actually saw your car the night before. The friend I was with actually saw and said it first. Then a few of the other people I was with later said it too, without us even referencing it.
We thought it was plastidip. You can see the spray pattern (lines). The edges are rough as well. Maybe you just didn't go heavy enough. The dimple texture thing is even though. Again, I'm not trying to be a douchebag asshole. That is just my/our opinion(s). I'm also a perfectionist though. If I can't do something to my expectations, I either don't do it, or I find some way to get further experience before thinking about it again. You did it yourself, which is something I do admire.

I agree with the lines, they buffed out, though. It's amazing that water just beads off the car... I found it rather surprising. The black civic next to my car was done the same day with the same paint. $130 to do two car wasn't bad at all. The only flaw I can find (now that the lines have been smoothed out) is one tiny area on the line of the hood with a tinnnny part of sliver peeking through. If you saw the car in person (which you did, lol), you could see the passenger door and see why I said screw it and painted the car. The satin hides the dent my wife put in it, and it was either paint the car the color I wanted from the get-go, or have my insurance rates go up for having something fixed at fault through my own policy. |

Not whole car, but dipped wheels white. I am considering having factory wheels powder coated but I didn't want to pull the trigger completely at the time.

In the photos I can clearly see streaking on the hood, for one. I was at SC5, but didn't really see your car, wasn't hanging out around there much >_<. |
