What if you spray light or medium coats vs wet and overlapping coats? This video will show you that it's more about how much product goes on the car vs how many coats you apply.

Of all the videos that have been produced by DipYourCar, this has to be the MOST useful video and most encouraging to me about going into my next project. I won't be scared to go wet coats next time I spray!
Michael Davis I agree with you I did my motorcycle and I saw one of the layers wet and I thought I was messing things up so I went lighter
Agreed. Excellent video
I would have been scared of the paint running and messing everything up
Great video. I won't be so shy with coats from now on.
Can I get a job spraying cars now? I've watched all the employee training videos lol
Employee of the month lmao
Did you ever get a spraying job? 😂🤔
I think a lot of people are scared of getting runs, that's why they spray medium. But from what I can tell, plasti-dip is very self-leveling, so as long as you keep moving, you shouldn't really get a problem
Steven Jones medium coats are fine, but the key is to spray all the product that comes w the Car Kit. Don’t leave leftover gallons, spray it all
DipYourCar If you spray all the product on to your car with medium coats instead of heavier coats will that make the final product look more textured in the end? Looking to buy a kit and want it as smooth as can be!
Ryan Lipscombe It will more likely be textured versus the heavy coats. Because, as he says, it will still dry as drops with each medium coat.
Yes, as it says in the video wet, overlapping coats are always going to give you the smoothest finish.
@@dipyourcar how do you get wet overlapping coats instead of medium spotty ones? Did you change the flow / pressure of the amount that comes out of the gun in this video? Or did you just hold the gun closer and go slower over each pass to get the wet coats? (Sorry for the dumb question)
So my question is, how many gallons do I have to spray to get biceps like Fonzie's?
Never thought of that. That DYC sprayer might be good, but if you go by Fonzie's biceps diameter, it sure must be heavy. Maybe he sprays a lot of flakes, I heard that's the heaviest of the finishes.
Just buy two five gallon buckets of plasti dip. Weight gain or muscle mass shake mix. Then start curling.
Don't be like Fonzie and miss leg day. At the gym, you can tell right away who does biceps and nothing else, and people who train legs, and every other muscle group. Look at his chest, traps and shoulders. You can tell he's just a bicep guy, literally trains biceps and nothing else. Don't be that clown, they all get laughed at, in front of their face and behind their backs. Leg Day should be twice a week, minimum.
Just tie your t-shirt in knots behind your arm, BOOM. good to go
Those are actually pockets for reload cans of plastic-dip
I really liked this video, it really shows people why you don't apply medium coats. The full wet coats look a million times better and it is a beautiful even coverage of thick plastidip which will be easily removable. Thumbs up!
Awesome.... HUGE DIFFERENCE !!!
While i have no disagreement in essence on this particular application tutorial. I must admit, as a paint and body tech of almost 12 years, the application of what you referred to as "wet" coats and so on, really comes down to the understanding of "material flow in regards to flash time"
Which to me is basic knowledge, though for some can be confusing. All sprayable coatings have different characteristics on how they "flow out" depending on how they're "laid" or applied. Then they're all also different on how their application and flow can be affected by surroundings. I.E. temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and so on. The best advice to lay any paint coating comes down to observation and understanding of chemical reaction. It's rather easy to get right, but at the same time, it's just easy to get wrong. Take your time, be observant and try to teach yourself how the product you're using reacts in your own environment. Then you or anybody else can lay material well to maximise the benefits of products being used.
Great video because I was wondering the exact thing. I have experience dipping rims, and small logos with dip cans, but I want to so bad dip my whole car.
I have a 07 Dodge Charger, and I'm dying to dip it matte black. Or like flat grey.
But I wasn't sure the coats or gallons. Now I kinda know what to do. Thank you!!
You are very generous with your information Fonzie. Seems like a genuine ceo backing his product. Just discovered and will watch more videos.
1 of the greatest advice videos for plasti dip that can explain the world because many people around me never listen or understand! Perfect Fonzie!! Nice lesson and plus the perfect result almost look like vinyl
How about a video on the sprayer adjustment and the optimal settings for the sprayer. I find that is kind of tricky as well. Getting the right amount of product to actually come out at the correct ratio of dip and air.
I have never purchased from DipYourCar because I live in Europe, but I really appreciate the content. Thank you, this is very helpful.
Sorry, man. I was trying to pay attention to the peeling but I was like "G'damn, look at Fonzie's arms"
Another well explained video about the product and the application.
Definitely one of my favorite videos from the dipyourcar channel. It definitely built a lot of confidence continuing on with my project.
So a wet overlay = making super easy for a dip snatcher.....got it! LOL!
@@gsteel98 what? people really do that? xd
Thanks for this video. I would be interested to see one further test. Take the same 2 sections of a hood. And a given amount of product for each section. Spray that set amount of product in the two different styles until you are out of material, regardless the number of coats. Then, measure film build and test peelableness.
There is something called transfer efficiency. No matter what, 100% of the material isn’t going to make it to the panel. This is overspray. I’d be interested to see how much the spray styles affect transfer efficiency, and how that could also translate into usage (I.e. using a medium spray technique might actually require more material).
Fonz is lookin like Cesaro from WWE nowadays lol
Upper cuts plastidip coatings off cars lol
I'm not sure that I want to dip more than my rims currently, BUT your product support througj videos, tips and website is so extraordinary that I would purchase any of your products even as gifts for my gearhead friends. Great job, great company.
Literally just ordered you're last gallon of Camo Green for my car hopefully guys get more in soon as I don't think one gallon is enough for my mid size sedan
Very helpful, thanks a lot for this!
Awesome video!! Perfect demonstration. Simple, straight to the point but informative! Thank you!
Great tutorial. I've sprayed many motorcycles and am looking to do my Sprinter van. Time to move from cans to a sprayer.
this is one of my favorite videos. watching this is a must before trying dip.
when are you going to post your workout routine ?
Jai go to his vlog channel
Just Peel cars lol
Lifting spray guns full of heavy rubber all day?
very very useful
Wow holy crap what a difference
Okay this was a great video boys. Next time when I dip my car, I won't be so frugal with the spraying. I'm doing a minor dip job tomorrow at home, so better just use everything I got leftover!
long overdue
Hello from Poland. I watch your videos and I will want to paint my car. The more I watch, the more I want to do it.
Hi DYC team,
Please help us understand the legalities surrounding changing paint color with your product
That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
Extremely well done video you are very good at making helpful videos thank you!!
Like my plastidip like my women, thick!
really important information! thank you
So in all of your application video's that I have watched I haven't seen one on how to maintain your hardware during an application. Such as how do you treat your sprayer in-between coats? If you take the tip off and soak it, then it might cause the initial few sprays to not adhere properly, but if you just leave in alone I assume it will start to dry and then cause uneven spraying once you get back to work.. Do you have a video on this that I have missed?
Brian Pierce we have an entire video dedicated to the troubleshooting and maintenance of the sprayers.
If it is the one that I'm thinking of, it only goes into how to clean and maintain the gun after the job is done, but is there a video for what to do with your equipment during the 15-20 minute drying cycles in-between coats? Or a better question may be, do I need to do anything special during this time period? or will the gun and tip be fine just chilling in the shop while i wait?
Brian Pierce I agree
DipYourCar out of curiosity, why is the dip matte but almost gloss like underneath.
After each coat, I clean the sprayer head. After every other coat, I do a complete tear down and clean everything except the cup. It keeps the gun consistent, and keeps me busy.
Great demo. That really helps too.
Fonzie's blooper reel contains of bicep curls 😂😂
In all seriousness, great video
Great Video Fonzy..as always
That sound was therapeutic
*Fonzie arrives at family dinner*
What’s up guys, it’s Fonzie from dipyourcar.com
badass info. helped a lot
Thanks man...you did a good job bro...
I'm diving in... My deville fixin to be LIT!!!
How would you say this applies with wheel kits? They don't really have an option to select the size of your wheels, so smaller wheels really get a thick coating, and if you only dip the outside of the rims it's going to be even thicker if you use all of the cans provided.
Lexus started putting this nice royal blue on all of their new cars and I wanted to dip my car a similar color but not sure what blue would be close.
Good video, but I think you have gotten your units of thickness mixed up. 18mm thick? I don't think so. 1.8mm thick, probably. Still great video :)
He is using imperial measurements. This is the US, not the EU. Millimeters is decimal, he wouldn't switch between systems.
In US or imperial terms; A mil is a measurement that equals one-thousandth of an inch, or 0.001 inch.
Can you use this over xpel wrap?
Team DYC - be interesting to know what settings you're using on the gun for the wet vs medium coats? Like how many "clicks" from closed - there's quite a range on the gun. I'm usually 20 clicks in or so when I think I'm doing wet coats. But it sure looks like you're deeper than 20 clicks in on yours...
is it possible to do an instructional video teaching someone how to dip their car i know there are excellent videos of experts doing it, but showing a novice how to dip their car would give other potential buyers like me that much more confidence.
Looks like the thicker coat side had a problem with tape removal
I don't think anyone will be dipping and immediately peel......I believe I saw a video that said it takes about a month for the dip to cure
Great video!!
Can you switch it up and do a sports bike, also how long can the product last once mixed if you don't use it all?
When spraying the wet style like you have taught us...do you allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next wet coat?
I had same question. What's the time between wet coats
Hi im new to plasti dip waiting on my spray gun. Did u figure how long between coats
@@deadonentry they never responded to any of my questions. I waited 1hr between coats at 70 degrees outside temp. If colder wait longer
@@shawndinterman2219 thanks apreciate the feedback
good vid. helped a lot
You guys need to do a early Bronco (Like mine ;)) What size kit do I need for a 1st Gen Early Bronco WITHOUT the top? A little larger than a Wrangler. Thx, great videos
When you pealed off the side with the wet overlapping coats, why was the car surface side shinny and the top matt?
Good info.
The side with the higher film builds is darker. I can tell the difference.
That was actually pretty helpful. I always wondered does he actually run through all the dip in the base coat gallons and all the dip in the top coat gallons of a kit.. or does he have a decent amount left over... thanks for answering this. I usually have about a half gallon out of a 4 gallon kit of base coat left over, I didn't know if that was good or bad lol.
appreciate the video, but why would you cut the intervals between coats without mentioning how long you waited?
"...not allowed to fully wet out..." and what the heck does that even mean? Why add needless complexity to an explanation for what is merely applying thick wet coats vs thin coats? or did I miss something?
Great information, thank you. You should have done that video 4 years ago. :D
One more yr and it will be 4 yrs ago
Holy shit! When he pulled the heavy coat apart, I thought it would rip easily 😂
what if the medium method were to be backed up by a single last wet coat ? , could a nice finish still be achieved with easy peel-abilty and still saving on material ?
So just an estimation, How many gallons will you need for a typical 2 seats convertible car without hard top , for example an MX5 Mazda NC 2007 model. I would appreciate if you could give an estimation from your experience of the gallons for the whole car, thank you.
Is thicker easier to peel like you just showed us mean it'll not last as long? If applied 100% right how long can we expect it to last before needing redone?
is it possible to make a racing line around your wheel?
Like a black rim and red stripe at the end of the circle.
...so you need to paint a black, gray or white PD base coat first?
Not just lay it over primer?
Oh
How do you properly dispose of the paint once you peel it from the car?
Is like when you spray clear coat
Exactly
Seeing how easy it is to peel the thicker coat makes me wonder how durable this stuff is in the real world? How easy is it for your coat to accidentally peel off if you, for example, ran into some tree branches or something that got snagged on an edge?
I'm just getting around to this video, lol. I sprayed my '74 baja bug with flat black, then then several other parts were sprayed matte clear with burnt copper pearl. I specifically picked DYC because if I invested a huge amount of money into a vehicle that was going to go off road and... hit branches.. it would ruin a mega expensive paint job. Whereas with DYC I can fix it for just a few $$$. I've actually put this to the test as I've taken my little beast off road many times slinging plenty of mud. The dip has held up great!!!
Good info
Hey man, i have a bighorn ram 1500. For your onyx black dip its priced a little over $500 im willing to spend the money and do it myself but whats the price difference if i come to your shop n pay you to?
How much would it cost me if i hire someone for a matte black finish for a regular corolla.
Great vid. Could you explain the thickness it can't be Mills as in millimeters. Do you mean microns? Or does Mills represent another measurement.
A mil is .001", one thousandth of an inch
Roughly 25 micrometers
Hey Fonzie when you will have shipping to europe for spray can???
Hmmm now I feel I didn't put enough coats of my base on my car. In total the car has 8 coats, 4 base black and 4 color and pearl. Hopefully it will peel easy when time comes. Overall I love the end result of my car.
If not, Dip Dissolve is your friend.
Extended cab pickup with no bed (flatbed conversion) how many gallons?
I had the opposite problem. Mine is drying out and peeling off.
Is free shipping for $99 not a thing? I could have sworn it was but its not working on my order.
How long can I expect it to last. Bout to use this on my c3. Looking for 8 months too a year
Can you clear coat over the Matt finish
Anyone knows how much they used spraying a volkswagen polo?
How many coats are needed for massive biceps?
I want, no i need that shirt!
So when you mean wet coats do i imidiatly apply the next coat or how long do i wait
how many gal of plastidip do i need for 1991 landcruiser
Hey Fonzi. I was wondering if you have a dumbbell on set to maintain a good arm pump in between scenes. If so, what size dumbbell?
Nice TPB's avatar
Next video idea: how many coats does it take before plastidip is weakened
My question is how many coats can i get out of a gallon? Im trying to buy some but dont know how much i need lol
Doesn’t that paint depth gauge also measure the paint on the surface? Still obvious difference but those normally measure any coating from metal to the tip of the gauge.
Of course it does - however the thickness of the paint would be theoretically the same across the hood. That plays no role in showing the difference of the coating itself.
It does, but even still, the difference is so huge that the proof is in the pudding :)
I don't know what that thickness gauge is trying to show in units, but do you really think your paint is 18 mm thick? Go buy a one foot metric school ruler and look at how much 18 mm is.
A mil is one thousandth of an inch, about 1/40th of a millimeter
Hou much gallons I need for 5 wet coat for a ford puma 1998?
Using spray cans, must I also use heavy wet coats? Im going to dip my 74 vega with 24 cans.
Yes.
Only 24 cans?
Hi..I will buy the small car kit shadow black for dipping nissan juke ...that kit consist of 2 black 1 shadow black. Is it enough for overlap spraying ?
letstart78 you need a Medium kit for a Juke. A Small is really for small coupes, like a Mini Cooper or 911.
Cesaro from WWE painting cars now 👀👀👀
