Default Plasti-dipped cars in South Ontario?

I was just browsing the plasti-dip thread - https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/862...#entry21807335

and Seeing these pics, i'm actually really interested. Basically $300 for a repaint of the car, and if you f@#k up or don't like it, you can easily just rip it off. Though, these are just pictures and I'd love to see it done in person before I pull the trigger. Was wondering if anybody here have Plasti-dipped cars? (even if it's not an s2k)

Its more of a temporary thing imo. The final finish is not great.

Maybe a plasti-dip meet? I'm thinking of doing my emblems after seeing a locals car done. Always wanted to ditch the chrome.

i spray bombed my sentra which is pretty much the same thing except permanent and a lot harder LOL.

also Alex aka seymorebutts of s2ki has spray bombed numberous wheels/cars so he should be able to chime in on this.

My beater was painted with rustoleum

here she is with my s.

Well there's no way in hell i would spray bomb my s, for obvious reasons haha.

Though plastidip is removable so not too big of a worry. There's a few people who spent about $200-300 for 3 gallons of plastdip andjust went to town on their cars, and it looks amazing.

Though it's really hard to judge by pictures right?

I've worked with plasti dip before. If you really want to get a good idea of what it looks like, come see my badges. I plasti dipped them and they have a texture to them. On badges its ok, but on a whole car you'd probably want a smooth finish right?
