The problem is that people are plastidipping their cars as an alternative to a proper paint job and what's worst is that they actually think it looks good so they leave that shit on permanently.

plasti dip car: no no

Plastidip is not really all that easy to peel off as they make it seem. The second that it sees wear and tear it becomes a bitch to take off.

For example, I painted my motorcycle's wheels with Plastidip. I had my wheels in the damn glass beader and couldn't get that shit off. Pressure washer? Nope.

I had to sit there with paint remover and a scraper for half an hour per wheel just to get it off all the way. I can't imagine "peeling" it off a whole car.


And -- it only looks good on certain parts of a car. It should not be used as a paint job. For example, friend of mine has a white WRX and he painted his badges with black plastidip, looks good.

Plasti-dip is fine for badges, grills, basic small stuff.

The issue arrises when people think they can do the whole car in that stuff.

No because you came into this thread guns blazing. Said everyone had been dealing with shitty plasti-dip jobs. Then you proceeded to tell us how you've just finished a friend's car (poor fella) and posted pictures of your finished work. You then blamed the poor quality appearance on your Galaxy S3 camera, where as in fact the cell phone camera is most definitely hiding a lot of the imperfections a real camera would pick up on. Everyone else said it looks terrible but in your defense you said that was the desired look your friend was after. You then logged into Zilvia and read all the comments of people saying the paint job blows hard. After reading all the comments you then logged off with no response to the thread. Then you wake up this morning and write two measly sentences in response, hardly with the same fire you initially had (when you thought plasti-dip looked good).

Thus, you sir have been Nis-owned.

it's easy, if you're not retarded.

i've done it on a dipped STi. he takes it up to the mountains and wanted to keep his perfect OEM paint in perfect shape. It also took the damage of a ding, where someone decided to open their door and hit his car with it.

Because they come on zilvia asking what they should do to their car. Be an adult and decide what you want to do to YOUR car. Learn the pros and cons of YOUR choices and act accordingly. All these "I have 5K and I just got this car, what are the first things I should buy?" How about a brain and a sense of free will and don't come back crying when people call you a idiot for YOUR stupid ideas.

Obviously, you have not been in America long, or on the internet for that matter. If you don't want to be deterred from doing something, don't post about doing it on the internet.

plasti dip is cool stuff but save your money and get a real paint job. or do it cheap yourself. if you decide to use it, wd-40 helps to take it off - it separates the paint
