UPDATE: I went ahead and dipped my Mustang a custom color using Panther Pink and Penny Copper Pearls. It looks unlike anything I've ever seen before! Here is the link to that video! th-cam.com/video/ifJokP-eeXQ/w-d-xo.html
A great video that helps beginner dippers is the one called "why plastidip looks like crap" . Watch that video and you can watch Fonzie go over what to do and what not to do when spraying so you can get a perfectly smooth finish.
I saw videos on this a few years ago and the only videos were from the manufacturer, so it was a pass for me. Then I started looking into it and I just can't imagine it would hold up. For example. I have a YJ I'm going to be painting. With paint if I scrub a tree branch I get a scratch and I can buff it out. This dip stuff, I'd be afraid if I scrubbed a leaf it would peel half the dip off the jeep.
How do you remove the masking without wrapping the coating? I peeld off the masking tape and most of the coating peeled off with it, leaving ragged edges and huge voids!
If that's USD you could have gotten a full body wrap for that which would look better and last longer. Plasti dipping is supposed to be the total bargain level of recolouring a car. The most it should cost is for the paint gun itself as Plasti dipp is cheap AF, and time of course. I always judge things on how much I could earn working in that time. Doing it solo would take about 2 days including drying time so if it was me I would probably just get it done by a professional.
Just out of curiosity. Given that it's obvious that you are reading what you are saying. Is this a paid promo and you were given what to say (roughly, such as bullet points) or these are completely your original thoughts and feeling about the product? Like I said, just curious is all.
@@BVE.Blackveinwith wrap it's more skill.. both are almost allike.. one it sprayed and one is used my head and the thing to smooth it out... I found out about dip your car long ago.. but yesterday I got shocked.. you don't need a lot of prep work.. from what I've seen. Apply the things that are in the bundle. Just a wash dry it.. prep it..which is the rolls and under the car to not leave over spray and the hood.. and your done.. wheels are also optional. Besides that start spraying just always use 50 50.... All the mixing and all the B's is not needing.. you buy the product and it is easy apply it!. Compared to actual real paint.. it's not a wash and apply.. you have to have to sand it to bare metal. And not sure what else but it is more work compared to just this plastic dip...if you have very very luxurys cars.. this is the way to go. Once your bored get red of it.. and wrap it's. A bit risky . Your using knives and can cut your actual paint.. more then likely to get it scratched. Need tons of patients to apply it. Need gloves.. and can't just get ready to apply when it's wrap.. need to stretch it and look how it is.. overstretch it and it's useless.. why I honestly feel this plastic thing is top notch. It's kinda like wrap. Once dried and whenever you want take it off.... Owe a 2003 ram all rusted and not so well.. and man I can't wait to get all the tools and apply this.
How has the gun held up. Any problems? Actually want to get the kit.. but read that if you say no to the spray gun.. I guess you have to call and say you want the advanced spray gun?? @@GozBrian
they are a pure rip off for shipping , a 5gram packet of pearl costs 10 dollars on their website and costs 70 dollars to ship to Ireland Ive paid for and shipped a printer from Texas for cheaper they add on 95% more charges to their shipping than is required , there is no way a 5gram item from the usa costs 70 dollars to ship to Ireland its a pure rip off .

Glad I saw this, not going down this path for sure !
You should have some ventilation to move air around & stuff doesn't get oversprayed like crazy.

@@PubDiji you have to cut the edges with a knife before you peel the tape.
Can we ceramic coat a plastidip car?
i was charge 1800 i think i was over charge lol....how much you would charge someone..i love mines but now its start to peel after 3 years

@@Alastair_ true true thanks
3 years? Not properly taking care of it then..you need to use certain products for the aftercare
@@mcham0846 oh ok thanks , the dude that done it didn’t tell me anything about after care …he just told me don’t wash it ….
@OgeeThegodfather then that guy is a yahoo. You can wash it, I just used the dedicated dip wash for it

It’s not a paid promotion. I write a script for every video.
@@GozBrian Ok, thank you for the response. Apologies for not getting back sooner. I was out of town and just got back last night.
What does it feel like when you touch it? Does it feel like regular car paint to the touch?
It’s not slick like paint, no. It’s more of a hardened rubber.
hard to beat for $500 .. looks cool . i like it
And it’s not permanent so if you get tired of it pull it off
I bought a 75ft roll of nardo grey vinyl for $395 and wrapped the whole car…wrap is cheaper by my math.
Where?
But more work no? And time is money
i would argue that it’s harder to wrap than to dip

Yeah but thats crappy wrap material dude. For a real good PET wrap in the same color the wrap would be way more.
How many times should I clean the spray gun between colts
Just make sure the tip of the gun is clean. The inside of the gun should be fine considering you’re continuously spraying liquid every 15 min.
How has the gun held up. Any problems? Actually want to get the kit.. but read that if you say no to the spray gun.. I guess you have to call and say you want the advanced spray gun?? @@GozBrian
Where in TX are you? I want to come see this as I am planning to do the same

Honestly I’d probably buy a harbor freight gun/compressor
It’s not made to be sprayed by paint guns
how do you clean it?
Regular soap and water. No harsh chemicals.
Ngl that looks like shit lol

Really? People “break their necks” at a 15 year old base model? Don’t use that stupid phrase bro.

They are actually "Bumper Ties," NOT bungee cords!! Specifically made for bumpers.
