Default Plasti-Dipped Camaro

I dipped my car over the summer. I bought the whole car kit from dipyourcar.com in Light Blue. For the money, I think the car turned out great. Far from perfect, but I love how it turned out for only $300. Next year I will probably pull it off and respray it again since I will feel more confident the 2nd time around and learned from a few mistakes my 1st time. I've never done anything with plastidip before spraying this car. The main thing that bothers me is that the hood and front bumper seem to be a shade off from eachother at certain angles. I sprayed 7 coats total.

Here is what the car looked like before:

The dip looks good...but the wheels no longer work with the color of the car though. Just my opinion though.

That actually looks amazing man good job and who cares about imperfections in the dip especially considering what it looked like before!
Did you remove the emblem on the back or paint around it? If removed does it stick well to the plasti-dip?

Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I removed the emblem. It sticks great to the dip. I just used 3m double sided tape.

As do I. The only reason I bought the car originally was because of the color. I love Bright Blue Metallic. I needed a s60 rearend more than I needed a $4,000 paint job so I tried the $300 option and I'm happy with it.
