Always wanted to do a matte white car, I love the look. Just need to get that plate filler and you'll be all set.

Ya i love it. I haven't gotten a filler plate yet because I think that this winter i'm going to remove my fogs and cut out the front square to expose my intercooler for more air.

Thanks everyone. Matte colors are really hit and miss, but I think it turned out great on this. It is a very bright white compared to other "white" vehicles

Car looks good.

But why do people always take photos with the shade facing the pic?

Thanks everyone! MUSTANGBRK, I am definately no photgrapher haha but my house was directly behind and I was too lazy to turn the car around for the sunlight.
And the car is actually plasti-dip. I used to hate the idea of plasti-dip but this experience has completely changed my view on it. It is easy to apply, durable, protects my black paint, cleans up super easy, and best of all... no waxing required. I am going to dip it a different color once Im tired of the white

That doesn't look bad at all for plasti dip. What was your method of application?

I used 3 gallons. I still have 1 more gallon I will apply eventually. It was applied using a deck wood stain applicator gun from home depot. The dipyourcar.com site goes into more detail about what can be used

Thanks guys! Omarrakeen, look up dipyourcar.com. There are some great prices for the dip there. It only cost me about 300 to do the whole car
