this is the only thread I found on the site:
914world dip thread

I'm considering this process for my daily driver/beater.

thinking the cost would be around $300ish
the finish would seem to be very forgiving (minimal prep)...just want it to look presentable and somewhat clean.

curious what results others got... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I just "dipped" my co-workers old 540i. It took 2.6 gallons of pre-thinned dip to do 7 coats.

Turned out really nice, and much cheaper than a paint job. The sweet thing, is you don't really need to mask off anything(we just did windows for speed and wheels to keep it off the brakes). Just wash, rubbing alcohol wipe down and go.

If the dip starts to look beat-up, you just re-coat.
