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)

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.

You can use a cheap home depot sprayer(high volume low pressure). A 914 probably could get by with 1-2 gallons. You can buy the full strength dip, and thin it yourself for cheaper.

You certainly will not get a glossy paint job, but its cheap and if you screw up you just peel it off and paint again.
