CTS-V plasti Dip
CTS-V plasti Dip Learned quite a bit going thru the process. If I had one more gallon of dip the roof and hood would look much much better, but not bad for a weekend project. This was 2 gallons of gunmetal and 2 gallons of anthracite. Has some stripping on the roof and hood but meh it is what it is at this point.
What I started out with cleaning the damn thing after being on the road for about 3 weeks
Power washed the car
Then hand washed with Dawn,
Then Hand washed with Dip-Wash
Wiped down with Pre-Dip Spray
and started taping
I removed the rear panel tail lights mirros and belt line moldings rather than taping these things. Extra 15 minutes in work I think paid off for the finish
First Coat
Then I had an uh-oh between the first and second.
Three coats of Gunmetal
Gun metal base
After using up all the gun metal ended up with around 3 coats of anthracite putting them on very thick to hide the imperfections, I was getting about 5-6 coats with gunmetal with how light I was putting them on
Third coat of Anthracite
Should have thinned that uh-oh .. Oh well lol
Finished, all aside from the lower grill I need to re-spray black
Peeling the fog light

I've seen videos peeling after over a year and it holds up great.
There were a few blemishes on the car. I'm in new orleans for work this week I will have too look at those specific spots and see how it did
