Plasti Dip my 914 Options

[yeahmag]

I'm hoping to plasti dip my car to make it all one color after my off at SOW while I save up for paint. Does anyone in SoCal have experience with this. It seems dipyourcar.com can't sell their kits here, so I'm stuck buying the stuff off CraigsList which I can only imagine is picked up across state lines somewhere. For example:

Get the dipyourcar.com gun that they sell. It makes all the difference and is worth every penny once you start spraying. It's not too much money either. It has adapted nozzle and everything to spray the dip repeatedly. The stuff is a little thicker then paint, so it can clog and gum up regular sprayers easily.

Also, do at least 4 or 5 coats for the first tim, this will help to peel it off down the road if you so choose, and makes it easier to pull the trim and window sections too.

My brother has dipped his FX35 and his buddies cars, he changes the color every 4 to 6 months. It turned out good, most people think it's a wrap. Just remember to to the same processes and lay it down the same as you would paint, nice long even overlapped passes.

Kinda stuck there... They don't sell gallons in CA legally. I've ordered the special nozzle for the spray cans to give me the best possibility of a passable result.

I think they are offering a "california kit" composed of quarts, and while its more expensive, it looks like they are trying to mitigate the cost somewhat.
