Learned quite a bit going thru the process. If I had one more gallon of dip the roof and hood would look much much better, but not bad for a weekend project. This was 2 gallons of gunmetal and 2 gallons of anthracite. Has some stripping on the roof and hood but meh it is what it is at this point.






What I started out with cleaning the damn thing after being on the road for about 3 weeks



Power washed the car

Then hand washed with Dawn,

Then Hand washed with Dip-Wash

Wiped down with Pre-Dip Spray

and started taping



I removed the rear panel tail lights mirros and belt line moldings rather than taping these things. Extra 15 minutes in work I think paid off for the finish



First Coat



Then I had an uh-oh between the first and second.



Three coats of Gunmetal



Gun metal base





After using up all the gun metal ended up with around 3 coats of anthracite putting them on very thick to hide the imperfections, I was getting about 5-6 coats with gunmetal with how light I was putting them on

Third coat of Anthracite



Should have thinned that uh-oh .. Oh well lol






Finished, all aside from the lower grill I need to re-spray black

That's outstanding, but you forgot to Plastidip the tail lights! You've got to finish the job with a blackout.

That is so bad ***...how well does it cover up imperfections in the car's actual paint?

I've seen videos peeling after over a year and it holds up great.

There were a few blemishes on the car. I'm in new orleans for work this week I will have too look at those specific spots and see how it did

Wow that came out sick man! I dont know if I have the ***** to do the whole car, but maybe rims and grill/emblems at first until I get a grip on it. Thanks for the pics
