any one dipyourcar(914)? Options

[rmital]

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)

here's their website:

A 914 is smaller, so you'd probably need closer to what, 3 gallons? Each of those is $60.00 a pop. If you don't have an appropriate sprayer, you have to buy that too. I do like the fact that you can re-do it, but I'm not sure how well it would lay down on an already spotty paint job. Plus, no matter how much "glossifier" or whatever add-ons those guys sell, Plasti-dip never comes out as glossy as real paint. And you get that "cool" ricer look that everyone is raving about.

If it were me, I'd go the paint route.

.... I do like the fact that you can re-do it, but I'm not sure how well it would lay down on an already spotty paint job.

...exactly what I'd like to know...since it's not paint, is it semi-self-leveling like POR15.

I just want an easy way to get the car to be one color...then drive the crap out of the car. I'd consider the rattle can version too. Haven't looked into the cost of that....seems like it would be too simple, but maybe too costly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
