OH NO! Not the whole plasti dip thing!!!! LOL it looks ok in pictures but can't see it lasting a good winter up here. Also for the price of getting it done you might as well wrap the car or just do a paint. That kit they sell is known to not be enough. Maybe they have changed it but I am really not a fan of it. If your going to do something small it's cool but the entire car .. blah. I seen many uneven and very dull jobs done. To do it right you have to do a few full coats and have to really have a good even hand for it.

I just started to do some more reading on it and in some rare cases it has removed paint. Bugs love plastidip more than you will and in winter it will last less and fade quick depending on weather exposure.
If you do have the 300 to throw away then ago for it and choose a color that won't look bad in a dull finish.

Guys, i need im thinking about doing a Plastidip coat for the winter, and i want to see how i like my car in red because im considering respraying it that...
What you guys think about the whole PlastiDip thing? There is a kit they have for doing the entire car, lots of people have been doing it recently, from S2k's to M3's

Im more worried about the "Good even hand" as thats something you really gain from painting experience, which i have none...
This was done with the spray can, so im sure even i can do better, but still, this is what im worried about.

I feel like if i ask my mechanic to recommend me to a painter he knows, he cant charge to much for the 3 hours it takes by coming to my house, at least that way it will have an experienced hand, thats about 600 dollar (assuming he wants the standard 100 an hour, but maybe he'll do it for less) and ill have a different color car, with a protective coat, for much less than a wrap.
Plus good wraps are close to 2g's anyway!
I mean if you know someone it'll def. be alot less, but i dont.
This was done with the spray can, so im sure even i can do better with the kit and electric gun, but still, this is what im worried about....
