Default Camo Green Plastidip AP1

Hey ya'll, here's my AP1 which I've just finished plasti-dipping in Camo Green, it was a bit of a custom colour as I added in some black to make it darker.

How did the texture come out? Might do this in matte red to mine Instead of wrapping.

thanks guys! the finish is a little rough, but I think that is to be expected comparing it to paint!

it cost around £250 all in, including the paint gun which was £120. In future, it'll cost around £100 to change the colour of the car.

This was my first spray and I've learnt a lot of lessons doing it, next time will be smoother hopefully

Looks good. How much did it take to cover the car.

my buddies are in line already! haha

I used 11 litres in total, but I think I could have got away with 10. I didn't use the very last 500ml in the bucket because the colour I used was custom, and was worried that the bottom of the bucket would be darker than the rest (even though I used a drill to mix the dip every time I filled the gun).

The cover of dark green on a silver car was very good, however I've read that some colours don't cover well, so you may need more dip (red in particular).

I'll be doing a different colour in a few months, and adding the glossifier to the top to make it more glossy, hopefully it'll turn out nice! In the meantime, I'll enjoy all the attention it gets
