Feeler: Dip Your Car Coating Offer, We gots the tools, just need a volunteer or two Options

[Brando]

So a friend and I have the necessary equipment to do a Plasti-Dip coating on - whatever. We had a gentlemen who offered to be the 'test' subject but backed out at the last minute. We want to try our hand at the trend so to speak. We're looking for one or two 914s in "good" to "excellent" exterior condition - the stuff won't stick to rust, but will stick to solid paint or gel-coat (fiberglass/CF).

For the cost of materials and a few pesos (or beer + red meat) we would like the opportunity to do your car. We're also looking for feedback on rates to charge for potential clients. The teener group would be a great way to get feedback.

Unlike other coatings it won't damage paint. Especially important for older lacquer or enamel-based paint jobs.

Again, we're looking to get into this and are hoping to do a few cars to 'showcase'. We'll be doing my buddy's 911 cabriolet once he gets the material. I'll also be doing my Cayman in white + black and hopefully soon a buddy's GSX-R in two-tone black/white + clear and my 2010 Vulcan. We need portfolio material!

Shoot me a PM here or e-mail through the board. We're looking for locals to SoCal/OC, maybe as far as LA/Riverside but we're not sure yet.

Will the 'mule' need to be stripped-down to just the bare shell? ... or will a rolling chassis be OK?

Watch the video's, You would only need to mask Targa top, you don't even have to mask the tail lights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd say no to bare metal, you would at least have to epoxy prime the car.

This is a fair weather treatment, it would not last a Canadian winter, but then you wouldn't want to drive your 914 in the winter anyways.
