Plasti dip the whole car...
I'm considering plasti dipping my whole car... I've watched videos on YouTube from the website dipyourcar.com.
The have an Audi plasti dipped in a berry blue color that's amazing. Has anyone heard of this website, or bought a kit from them... Or Has anyone attempted plasti dipping their entire car and how hard was it?

plastidip accomplishes your task no problem, and if done right it looks good.
what noone ever talks about is removing it. yes it peels off as long as you did a thick enough coat. its the gaps in between panels where there is an issue. that doesnt peel off and since its over spray you will have to whip it down with something. only problem is its between panels and you cant reach it. so basically in every little crevis you cant reach, you will always have whatever color you plastidipped. not really a problem if you do matte black on a dark color car. but if you do a crazy bright color on a white car.........your screwed |

I've been thinking about doing this on my car for a little while but might wait until its more agressive. I'm planning on either doing matte black, white, or doing matte clear. I'm leaning towards just doing the matte clear cause it would make the car look like BMW's frozen grey color. You could probably PM some of the guys on here that have dipped their cars if you have any questions. Here's one for example:

Dipped my wheels and was considering doing my full car but after I removed my dip from the wheels I vowed not to do it on my car. Peeling off the dip wasn't hard but getting every little detail out of the wheels was time consuming and irritating.
I would save some money and get it vinyled

vinyl will cost more but will have a better and professional look.
You'll have a matte feeling if you dip the whole car. Plus there's a lot more color options with vinyl compared to just plasti dipping

Another vote for vinyl. Save the money and do it yourself.

Much better idea then dipping your whole car look like shit 95% of the time compared to vinyl which looks 1000 times better. You get what you pay for remember that, and don't forget that when your ready to buy some wheels don't cheap out
