Plasti Dip

I think I'm gonna plasti Dip my car, when I get it.

Would there be any issues with cops for a colour change?

Nope. They don't give a flying ****. Just update the car colour at registration time.

pm munkvy about the results... he did his car few months ago.

I used plastidip for the first time in the weekend. Painted the purpely rain guards black. Really stoked with how it came out. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts

Make sure you do it right, saw a gf8 at a car yard fully plasti dipped black (had an old CS sticker on it) and it looked like absolute shyte

I did my rally car:

It's a pain in the arse to maintain, as it peels with too much touching and it is easily damaged with oil/petrol too... It however is a ****load cheaper than painting a car properly... If you don't really care about your car/image, then try it. Or just buy one can and paint one panel to see. It does peel right off, but that's also it's downside, it peels right off!

Ps, took about 15 cans to do the car properly.

It shouldnt peel off that easy unless its not enough coats/ you've left open edges for it to lift from (if that even makes sense, it does in my mind) but you're using it for a rally car so I could understand it peeling off easily as it gets more abuse then a daily driven road car..

I did my wheels and wing mirrors over a year ago now? And theyre perfectly fine to this day, only thing was the wheels had to be touched up after the tires got changed(understandable) and theres maybe one stone chip on the wingmirror which went through the plastidip but the paint underneath is fine.. I know its not much of a comparison to a whole car being done but its some insight I guess..

oooh and pick your colour wisely as some dont suffer to well when they get dirty...

I spent a week down in the South Island on Targa in the car and the paint peeled off the front edge of the right rear door, mainly from me rubbing up against it as I climbed out of the car between stages. So any area that has high wear on it like that and door handles it will peel from over time. But it is also very easy to touch up and you don't have to blend it, just put another coat on and it seals it up nicely.

I would definitely say try it out on a panel and see what you think.

I had black on my wheels for over a year and it lasted pretty good.

Its just a pain with the brake dust as they end up turning a bronzie kind of black.

Have to be careful when cleaning as if you are to vigorous you can end up rubbing it off.

biggest tip for anyone planning on trying it on anything, sit the can in hot water for about 10 mins before doing each coat, atomizes(sp?) much better than just shaking it and comes out way finer for a smoother finish.
