They look good Eric! I like the brushed look!

Thanks Greg I hope your new place is coming along great!

well this has been the biggest ass kicker that I have had in awhile! I have done a bit of research on a product called Plasti dip and some people are painting there cars with it and thought to myself hey what a perfect idea for this ugly paint job! you can spray it on then when your sick of it you can peel it off and the paint under it is perfect as the day you sprayed it! after lots of youtube videos I decided to give it a whirl flat black with black wheels sweetness coming up!
OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I spent weeks prepping for this removing emblems,lights,hood,trunk,tested the concept on a couple of test pieces.

I don't understand..... are you happy with it OR NOT?? I don't get the "OR NOT" comment.

I paint with plasti dip all the time. This stuff is amazing I have been using it for a couple years and have painted all my cars with it including my 69 roadrunner

sorry I had to run in the middle of my post answers coming up.
did you use the pre thinned ready to spray or thin your own?

ok here is the rest of the story after spending tons of prep time and doing some test pannels that turned out awesome. we decided to spray the whole car using the recomended hvlp gun with a 1.4mm tip 2 of us started spraying the whole car shortly after starting we noticed how grainy it was changed the air pressure at the gun to only 20# and it was still drying in mid air and laying all over the car like sand so we figured spraying another coat will blend the first coat in or Not! ok now with the sick feeling in my stomach knowing there is nothing we can do at this point but spray more on to be able to peel it off there needs to be at least 3 coats. so after all 3 coats this is what the worst parts looked like.there is no sanding or fixing anything the way you spray it is the way that it looks.:bang:

I always use the pre thinned dip. It has better coverage and also a uv protector in it for fading

The best results will come from the spray unit the Dipyourcar.com sells. I have never had results like that from dip. I always get a great smooth finish. Distance when spraying dip is a huge key plus the amount that is being sprayed. The spray unit DYC sells produces a very fine spray that lays down like butter

seams like this is the answer from the research that I came up with to. the airless sprayer works like a charm. Why would they put the preferred method on the instructions with a hvlp. gun if it works this bad???? thanks for the info maybe there is hope yet.

I just want to clarify I am in no way trying to bash the product I just want anyone else to go through what I just went through nothing like prepping,practicing,painting and peeling all in a couple of days!
