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. Some info about "dip your car" or "plasti-dip" http://www.dipyourcar.com/ http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL871EB30BCEF4B3F3 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. |

I've watched about 20 youtubes on plastidip and these come to mind.
Is it always a flat finish? Are color selections limited? How do you get rid of the orange peal finish? How long does it last? What does it do to the original finish? How does it hold up at 80mph? Most of all? Why not just use paint? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I'm on the fence with this one, but leaning towards not doing something like this. |
