Plastidip High Gloss

I'm a fan of plastidip personally because its much easier/cheaper to change the cars color every year, but the high gloss could be really awesome.

[RUTHLESS]

I was just watching vids of the color changing coatings they have now. This stuff has come a long way.

[Tom]

Last summer I tried to make dark red and it came out a little too pink for my taste. I might do bright red this summer.

[Dan B.]

How are you spraying this stuff? With their gun or something else?

[Tom]

Yeah, I just bought their setup.

[Terminated]

My buddy just ordered the kit with the glossifier for his wheels. I will report back when I see them in person.

[Tom]

Did he pre-order the high gloss? It's not going to be out until mid-march. The regular glossifier is similiar to a satin/semi gloss.

[RUTHLESS]

About how much do people have into a color change with plastic dip? I understand that some of the glosses and color change can add to the cost. The reason I ask is because I got a quote for a vinyl wrap on the fox and it was about half of what a real paint job costs.

[Tom]

$300-400 for a decent job (high gloss).
You could do a flat for 150 or so.

I would also get the pre-dip spray ($9), and their gun works ($156) pretty good too. Than it is just general stuff like the masking paper, blue tape, etc.. Jeff (the dude with the white/black dsm) and I are probably going to end up dipping 4 cars this summer. It feels a lot like the paint boths in grand theft auto where you pull in, change the color and drive away.

edit: this is for doing it yourself

Ryan.....Diehl in Butler does it. Call and talk to Matt Wittenberger in the body shop. He will give you a good deal. Check out dippedbydiehl.com.

There's a guy on YouTube that uses an electric paint sprayer with good results. You can buy gallons of paint from dip your car and cut it and spay if yourself with a little research.

If you want some help, let me know. I have the gun already.

there is a shop here in Morgantown that's does it and they charge around $1000 to dip a full car. They claim they tear down the car as if you were doing a real paint job. I've seen their work and it's not bad but I can't justify that much for plastidip

Yeah my brother is taking his car to them to do come March. I doubt they disassemble the car and dip it as the price would be much higher than $1K for that.

Watch videos from a guy on YouTube with the channel name iamthepuzzleman. He started with cans and has progressed into spraying full cars. He uses a home paint sprayer and has used a few different types. He does all of his stuff like you would in your garage. He is where I got the idea to use plastidip as a bra for winter. uploadfromtaptalk1423704966316.jpg

plastidip is cool stuff. I did my winter wheels a few years ago back when it first started to get noticed, and the only colors were black, or white, lol
