InfiniteReality,

Is there anyway to make Plastidip Black " Shiny " ?

Would putting 3 -4 top coats of their High Gloss do the trick ?
Or will Black Plastidip always look Flat ?

Thanks

That'd be the only way to get some shine with dip

Thank you for your feedback

I'm going to talk to the guy who
s going to spray it for me , and go over my options / color to use

Leaning towards an Artic White ( same color as my car ) ... just to keep it simple, but make it look New

It needs a Full Paint job ( Clear coat is peeing in 5 different places ), but I just don't have the $ for a New paint job.

So hopefully getting it plastidipped will hold me over for 2-3 Years, and have the car looking good again finally lol

I gotcha now. Can't ever go wrong with white and IMO it looks better flat/satin than gloss too.

Gloss plastidip has a pretty significant amount of orange peel. Their new Autoflex line (while more expensive) is much better if you're looking for gloss.

Also, the WS6 you originally posted appears to be non-metallic. Are you looking for non-metallic or metallic?

I sprayed a car with Plastidip and have gotten a ton of compliments. It's similar to the Viper. It's a custom mix of Anthracite, Plastidip pearl (which adds gloss), and some added in pearl powder. The more pearl and metallic powder you can get in there, the more a satin finish will show the curves of the car.

Here's the car/color I am referencing. Shoot me a PM if you're interested and I'll see if I can track down the exact mix I used. It has held up well for ~5,000 miles.
