Why would you say that? I was thinking of doing a white on mine? Care to elaborate, as I am not real familiar with plastidip. But I saw a few white plastidips online and they looked great

sun made it turn brown... and once it gets dirty (oil since my bimmer had a case of open hood syndrome every other week) there's no way to clean it.

It looked nice at first though.

Its actually 3 times the price of the dipping, 4-5 is a bit exaggerated. And personally I like the idea of plasti dip, Hey, I have even used it on one of my cars. But I have always felt nervous of the durability. I was always scared that I would take it to the car wash and they would treat it like real paint and rub it off and I have actually heard of that happening before. Thats why I favor wrapping, lasts up to 10 years and I never think to worry about it coming off.

Thats just my 2 cents anyway..

There's a lot if misconception like this about plasti dip. As long as u apply it right and do a good job, everything will be fine. If u don't, it'll come out like crap. Make sure whoever does it knows what they're doing.

For me, there is no glide in pulse and glide :p

Technically it is roughly 5 times more to wrap it than to dip it. The typical price I was quoted to get the car wrapped was $3,500. Where as getting it dipped was $650.

3500/650 = 5.385

I work for a wrapping company here in San Diego... I had mentioned we charge 2000 for a frs. Therefore 650 x 3 = 1950 ...

Looks sick. Which aero kit is this?

i have heard pretty much the same thing from a friend of mine who did matte white...

so applying glossifier on top will not really help, will it?

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe glossifier would help.

zAnSh1n · 04-13-2014, 11:14 PM

that would be cool because i am starting to hate the pearly sheen of my car's exterior; even at night, it just looks "dirty" because it's essentially an off white...

just enough to make me go crazy

i picked up my fr-s 5 weeks ago, but haven't washed it once, haha...
[i usually wash my car once a week]

a good plasti-dip job with glossifier will run me about $800 and i just received a quote of $1500 from a vinyl wrapper...

i will do some more research and make my final decision after i get some exterior stuff installed...

Vinyl wrapping is usually a lot more than 1500 so I wouldn't be too convinced that he will do a good job.

For me, there is no glide in pulse and glide :p
