So you don't like Plasti-Dip because it is inexpensive...... hmmm I don't get it...

You obviously have not seen a quality Dip on a full car. If you had you would know that after the curing is finished its almost identical to vynl.

Not liking matte and not liking a dip are two different things. In these photos you really can't tell a difference between the two, so I'm not sure if the people that don't like the paint don't like the matte, or don't like the -idea- of it being dipped.

I haven't seen a plasti car in person, but I can see the draw of the idea. Until I see one in person I'll hold my judgement on how it looks.

Personally I love the matte colors, matte BASF blue being my all time favorite:

You said it! People just don't like the ~idea~ of a car being dipped. I wish everyone could have an attitude like you, not judging something until being seen first hand in person.

Once they see a well dipped car in person they will be like

a few ppl have asked if it's wrapped. the quality is great. Bryson at Wagenwerks Atlanta sprayed it for me. we kinda missed the mark on the color i wanted but it looks good still. my next dip will be more satin royal or maybe satin purple. i like the fact that i can just change it up like that whenever i feel like it. that's why i did it. it's convenient and it adds uniqueness. as for the paint, yeah it's protected now, but it was already scratched up....track car problems
