Plasti-Dip, Part I So instead of painting the berger panel, I plasti-dipped it instead.
Turned out pretty well, I need to add some more under the tail lights, but that can wait until i need to take it off again, next week, when I get a couple of gallons of orange plasti-dip to do the whole car.....oh joy to be bored.
Best part about it, if i eff up or it looks like crap, I can just power wash it right off.

yeah, pretty much....my paint looks like **** and i'm using this as a temporary fix, it's way easier than effing up an actual paint job....it's supposed to be super durable, so this is more experimental than anything.
most people do grilles or wheels, i'm doing the whole thing.....my only concern would be keeping it clean, but apparently that's not an issue.
i should only need a gallon of the stuff, so for $70, i may have a more durable and more easily removed pj.
we'll see though....

Make sure to polish and wax the hell out of anything before you Plasti-Dip. If you don't, the Plasti-Dip is hard to remove. Also, take as many panels off or mask as well as possible (since it'd be a bitch to extract the PD from the body gaps). Also I don't know where you got the idea that it's durable, but it's not. It fades fairly quickly from UV/outdoor exposure.
A G35 owner did his whole car in matte black plasti-dip. He let it stay on for a few months during the winter. Used it kind of like a spray-on bra.

I have a ram air hood for my car that I don't plan on painting for a very long time (because spending $2k to have the whole front clip resprayed isn't in the budget for me, since it's a 120k mile 12 month a year driver) so I sprayed it with plasti-dip today
I'm going to do a black hood, black sail panel (which I was going to do anyway) and probably black ceta on my blue car, it might look ghetto for a while but probably won't look worse than my chipped up stock flat hood and bubbled-so-bad-i-had-to-duplicolor-it-not-matching-blue-sail-panel
