Plasti dip
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.

I have a close friend where I live that does it on the side he's done trucks and a BMW and a bunch of small stuff I plan on having him do mine but like you said the color is critical. I know a bunch of colors woulnt work with a 4th camaro
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.

Have you looked through the plasti dip sticky? I am not blind it's right at the top of the page but there is only one fully dipped 4th gen in it.....that sticky is 90% plasti dipped accents I'm looking for a fully dipped car
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.

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.

no need to be rude, I was pointing it out as not many people on here seem to look up at the stickies, you can also look here

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.

also there is this 5th gen https://ls1tech.com/articles/sema-20...aro-bed-liner/
I thought there was another one but I can't find it.
A guy on here named KILLER-LS1 has a matte green Camaro. It's not as bright as the Hunter Green you posted, but it may give you a rough idea:
Not a body color shot, but his engine build is badass and deserves to be shown, haha!

thanks! yeah that motor build is sick! looking at those pictures , i think the hunter green might be good! we will see in a couple months here as soon as the pa weather clears up enough!
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.

That v looks great!
Yeah the neon colors do fade I did my little sisters car and it faded pretty quick.....here's when it was first done, it's surprising how bright the blaze colors are!
