alexortiz20 · 05-27-2012, 09:21 PM

I will be doing this to mine this up coming weekend.

So you sprayed paint thinner on your car? Is it ok to do that?

Jody007 · 06-12-2012, 06:52 PM

I need to do my E36 in Black.

great write-up Denis!

Ive seen a bunch of cars do this. However I think it looks kinda off. Would only suggest it for one off parts, not the whole car. Ie rims, grills, roof

awsome but looks a little blotchy, is that because of the pictures?

Can we have an update on how the dip has faired over time.
I'm considering doing a clear plasti-dip on my space grey , for the matt look ( I quite like the colour).

Looks sick bro! Great job!

starbai · 01-17-2013, 03:54 PM

Hoping for an update on how its held up as well...

I was planning on doing a gloss white with pearlizer and gloss coating which supposedly protects its a bit.

Leaving my roof and mirror caps black...

Also you stated you bought 3 gallons of stuff... how many coats did you get outta that?
