Default White PlastiDip Experiment !?!?!?!?!?!

Hey all,

I ordered some White PlastiDip Paint because everyone is going with black wheels on everything.. Each wheel took 1 can each, total cost $34.95 shipped from garagetoys, some tape.

I thought I'd show you some PlastiDip work.

SO. Here i am in a WHITE OUT!

Let me know what you think.

Absolutely awesome! Looks really good, especially with those 'stang wheels.. I've always loved that body style GP...

Anywho, let us know how it holds up! Put it through some tests!

It seems to me the paint is a bit different to apply than normal paints. You really have to lay it on. It says spray 14-16ins away. But i did it like 6in away sweeping and getting in the cracks while spraying.

I noticed that if you dont lay it on heavy that it will like have little pin holes in the finish. There not perfect but look pretty good. I did fix a few by respraying them.

Thanks for the compliments. I will be looking for someone here locally to powder coat them the same color as the car now since i like it, wife likes it and everyone else likes it.

Now that I got my GT the way i almost want it, I will be starting to work on the GXP now !

THANKS!

Looks great. I see a lot of gp's with (imo) over the top wheels, etc, but the white TT's on white look really clean. Very nice.
