Plasti dip
So I know there will be a lot of flaming about this topic but to each their own if you don't like it stay out of the thread I'm looking for some pictures of plasti dipped f bodies. Dip has come a long way and my shell is getting pretty rough it's r titled I don't see sense in dropping the cash on painting it so I figured id dip it just looking for some ideas post up some pics please

I dipped a Fox I owned and the pics are in a thread below. Turned out sweet. However, I've seen like 2 Fbods dipped. The color is critical.
For some reason I've seen so many c5 or c6s with plasti, even more than mustangs a few chargers too. check out dipyourcar forum they have many pics of cars. Last time I was there was last summer and some wild cool looking cars.

well, lets start by pointing you to the Plasti-dip sticky https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...-faq-pics.html
I would also mention if you have a mid 98 or later model f-body (the ones that can suffer the sail panel bubbling issue) that Plasti-dip on the sail panel seems to accelerate the bubbling for some reason.

I'm having trouble finding it but there was also a thread for a "sunburst orange" IIRC trans am. Honestly I think there are more f-bodies covered in bedliner then plasti-dip, it's just not that particularly popular on american cars, it really is more of an import scene thing.

Just go to the dipyourcar.com forum and you'll find more pictures of F-Bodies that have been dipped. I searched a while back and found a few.

really? Bed liner, what a redneck POS thing to do to a car. At least with plasti it'll peal off.
I did like the results of my sold Fox in the link posted. For some reason though I don't see it on my TAs. Don't know if its the lines on the car or something. Maybe because they don't need paint.
Been out of the loop with plasti for a while. They were coming up with some cool stuff. I've also seen many 5th gens, mostly silver, gun metal, black, white.

That is one of the better ones I've seen. Needs a touch of like the hockey stripe or something in black. Some of the blues with additives like pearls or metalizers look hot.
If I did do a plasti on my TA it would be the vert in red tone. This way it would go with my Tan top. An idea I kicked around but so many other car priorities prior. I got a mountain of work and coin on my GTO project.
So I'd recommend a red with some pearl, which will lighten it up then add a few drops of black to bring it back down to red. Also add some glossifier to it to make the red pearl pop. I have the glossifier in the mix of blue on my fox that I posted. That gives it like a satin look, if you spray the gloss after you shoot the red it makes it look more glossy.

I was amazed at the people that come up to me after we done mine.everybody loved it pics dont do it justice. The only thing i didnt like about this color it fades fast in the sun. That green looks tough.

Took some ***** ^^^^ to paint it that color! Like I said it peals off...lol. I remember them saying the sun fades the neon colors. I wonder if the gloss sealer would help it not fade.
