Bump for more custom colors!

Custom dark green camo plastidip:
Looks mean, you dip it yourself?

I've been wanting to do this, just waiting for the weather to get better. How is that different from the regular camo green?
Thanks man. No, my friend who has dipped other cars dipped it for me. I bought the pre-thinned gallons from dipyourcar.com and he used a regular paint gun to spray it. Really fine coats, consistent spacing from the car, 2-3 lights coats per panel per pass. It wasn't that hard, I did some of my door.

Regular camo green is significantly lighter, almost like an olive drab. However, it's almost impossible to capture the true color of dipped cars through a camera because matte doesn't reflect light. It's definitely different in person. In my photo I edited it to as close to real life as I could.

This is camo green right from the bucket:

I didn't like this at all, personally. To darken it I used roughly 3/4 gallon camo green and added roughly 1/4 gallon black. That's the combo I liked.

In total there are 6-7 coats on the car and I used two gallons.
