plastidip advice hey guys i have an 93z28 thats the purple gray looking color i was thinking about getting it plastidipped would it be hard to paint under the wing an what would be an good color to go to
i agree with 1 and 2 above, but fail to see how plasti dipping a car is "ghetto"...it is a cheap, easy way to change the color of your car without damaging the original paint with the ability to go back to that original paint. also, just leave the spoiler on, no need to spray dip under it. but keep the PPM, it is definitely one of the cooler colors available for f-bodys
plastidip is fine for detail work (grills, wheels, and what not) but the cars I've seen that were dipped only look good from a distance
unless the paint is really bad I would leave it alone, that color is awesome anyway

plasti-dip is fine for whole car, provided it's not the basic flat black done with the rattle cans, there are many cool colors and stuff you can do with plasti-dip that don't result in the "ghetto" flat black "primer coat" look that is most commonly associated with plasti-dip.

it's been my experience that plasti-dip finishes are HIGHLY effected by the temperature it was sprayed in, for the best results you need to be out of direct sunlight around 60 degrees farenheit (atleast that has given me the best results). the problem is most people are spraying in there yard in the middle of the day with the sun shining down and that really kills the finish.

Everyone hates on Plasti-dip but I bet most dont have personal experience with it. I dipped my whole car matte white, and I already know what my next two colors will be. The car looks great, it's beyond easy to clean, and best of all? Its not permanent. My black paint is flawless beneath the dip, so if anything it is just protecting it. Ill be peeling it this winter and going with a different color. I use to hate on plasti-dip too until I tried it. I would have to say that it doesnt look "ghetto" or like a "shitbox" to me, but everyone has their opinions, which is fine.
And to answer the original question, no it is not hard to get good coverage in tight spaces. Just take your time
I just pulled the dip off the sail panel and mirrors to see what it would look like. Its all coming off this winter and a new color going on it.

the white looks good
Hot Rod did an article recently on some cheap auto paints though...so if OP has **** paint and want's something more permanent that might be a good option.
