They have a full on shop in Tampa. You can find tons of pics just Google "Dip N Go autocolor" should be a facebook page. I am going to have them Matte white my car and gloss black the top half, CETA, and a few other things. Should hold me over until I find a good painter to do a permanent job.

Me and a friend did his red supra to white with the kit and it turned out pretty good, we took it to TX2k13 and it held up pretty well the whole time he has since peeled it off, was a temporary thing until it gets painted

only took us 4-5 hours with 3 gallons I believe, think it went to 4-5 coats over the whole car

it was the matte white ... it did really well, as long as you are not actively trying to rub off the paint it holds very well

we washed it a few times and it never pulled any off (don't powerwash it though)

Just do your stripes with dip. Give a an idea of how its gonna look. I'm gonna be "dippin" a Manta stripe on my car shortly. Perfect way to play around with stuff without doing anything permanent.

I'm thinking of dipping my 97 Camaro road race car. Seems like if I get bumped and it damages the paint, it'd be so easy to just peel a fender or bumper off and shoot it again. Plus color changes are so easy.

ive had plasti dip on my sail panel for a while and it has stayed on fine. the car sits outside so it is exposed to the elements. its just a temp. thing until i decide to do something else with it.
