It's not cost as much as time, if you do it yourself. You can get a good piano black finish with decent spraypaint. It just takes a lot of coat and a ton of sanding of the color layer and a nice hard clear that you can also wetsand/polish.
I'd probably use an epoxy paint or other type that dries nice and hard. Easier to sand those. Some basic spray enamels are forever tacky. |

I'd have to do the research myself to really tell you. I haven't done anything like that in ages.
I do know that Duplicolor's spray paints sold in car parts stores tend to be harder drying. The engine enamel is TOUGH if you bake it at around 250F for a while. I don't know how the plastics would hold up to that though. |

Quick Questions?
How long has the Plasti-dipped like this lasted so far and Jarumie42172 - Did you just regular white plastidip? I am planning on doing it that this weekend and am complete newb to anything with the interior but it's worth a shot. I'm thinking of doing 5 or 6 coats of white. I've seen pics of people with the white interior instead of the silver and it's beyond beautiful to me. Last edited by Whitesoul; 11-07-2015 at 06:44 PM. |
