I used this before and it really is hit or miss. Color and car combo mean so much. I will say from my experience it is better to throw some gloss in it. It will still give a satin look. With it being matte its harder to clean, with some of the gloss its easier to wash and keep clean like paint. I want to paint my other TA with a color just not sure what color. Been thinking about Aluminum with a touch of gloss.

Aluminum would look awesome! Im thinking of switching the color up this winter. Not sure what I want yet. Mine cleans up easy! I just use a soapy brush and then rinse the car. I dont even dry it! It doesnt leave water marks so why bother I love it

Your car is sooo sick! This makes me seriously consider doing this to mine. With my car already black, I could tape off the CETA, blackbird stripes, and mirrors/sail panel to give that nice gloss black against the matte white. hmmmm the possibilities!!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the comments! I have been considering pulling the dip off of the sail panel and the mirrors and then doing blackbird stripes. I haven't decided yet though. I'm still on the edge of how I feel about black sail panels on non-black cars.

Wow i love it. Always wanted to do this and i think i might finally pull the trigger. Only problem is my car is already white so i don't know if the flat white plastidip would work. I want the whole storm trooper look. so sick.

Doing white over white would actually work great! Since my car is black I had to do a base coat of gray and then the white over it. Otherwise I would have had to do a whole lot of coats of white. You should do it!! Pictures dont give justice to how bright of white this actually is!

That is my dads car I went home to visit and snapped the picture. That car with the rims and 5% tint makes it look like a car that the mafia would cruise in hahaha it is a classy but sinister car.

Now that you mention it a white sail panel is the way to go with this. I think the black mirrors would look sick though
