You make no fucking sense to plasti dip the bumpers. This is when you use clear vinyl wrap not plasti fucking dip to protect your unseen paint now. And why u paint your spoiler then so pigeons cant shit on it lol?

Z31 and Dmart, maybe you could help me with something that I really just do not understand. Since you seem to want to make this discussion a generational thing, why is it that "young guys" seem to purposefully make their cars shittier than they were to begin with? While Zilvia is plagued with this problem it's not localized to this site. It's a problem that affects the entire tuner community as a whole. Why do you do it?

I would say this could be a Loud Noises topic but I think people of my viewpoint may be in the minority here, unfortunately.

Zilvians gonna zilvia.

Was wondering if you do have a custom/expensive/real/ paint job what's the diff between plasti dip clear and clear vinyl? I have no experience with either.

clear vinyl protects it from debris hitting the paint, and allows the oem paint to be seen, but it WILL fade the paint unevenly if the car is outside in the sun.

plasti dip covers it with a color...

plasti dip is great for 3 applications for 240sxs..

1) drift car don't care about appearance
2) can't afford a paint job
3) painting lips black

it looks like absolute shit if you were trying to make a nice looking car, but it fits in nicely with drift missiles... which is fine.

I'm not old, I'm 23.

Your point is now invalid. You're trying to say that 'old guys' aren't 'HiP WiT dA nEw TrEnDz, y0!' when in fact it's just a case of you being a cheap fuck.

If you love your car, you'll pay good money to have the paint done PROPERLY. Same with your wheels: if they're $2,000+ Work/Rays/SSR rims you'll probably never consider taking ANY form of rattlecan-based paint to them. If you don't love it you'll rattlecan it and cut other corners so we all know what kind of 'enthusiast' you are.

Like I said before if your argument was 'dude it's my track car I'm gonna fuck it up anyway' then I'd have some sort of understanding. Simply saying it's the 'new' thing is fucking stupid. So are you.

To add to this
my car is a track car and its going to look like a show car every time I slide it.
if I mess it up I will fix it, make it look like show car, trash it and repeat.

Just because its a track car doesn't mean it should look like shit.

Whoa let's not put words in my mouth dude. Not saying ALL track cars look like shit. I'm saying when there's a higher possibility of fucking up the paint a cheaper means of painting the car is acceptable.

D. Any combo of these

I live in FL, I've been down to DipYourCar, and seen their cars. They are smooth as hell, and basically flawless. I've done my own and my brothers' - after watching the videos, both came out excellent. People put their hands on them every day asking if it's vinyl.

Old school, grumpy people who hate change, or hate anything different are always going to be around. I just wish people knew what the hell they were talking about before they talked negatively about it.

If its a shitty track missile why not take it to Maaco for a shitty paint job? Can't plasti-dip over junk and expect it to be awesome.

There's no reason for this other than it being the new thing to do. I wonder what the ricers will think when they add up the weight of the original paint + 10 layers of spray paint + the plasti-dip paint. WEIGHT INCREASE++.

Suckers.

Had to chime in. You all are failing to see what plastidip is for. Nice cars with good paint, to protect it. and change the color while doing it. every time u sand a car you destroy whats underneath of it, just to change the color. with plastidip, you don't have to. vinyls can eat the clear coat up, and bond via adhesive. plastidip cling wraps. I urge you to TRY it before you talk a bunch of shit about it. My buddys sky is worth more than just about ANY of your 240's and has paint that is way nicer. and it gets dipped frequently. and for those of you who have never REALLY painted a car (doors off, no moldings, no mirrors, bumpers off, fenders off, etc) your 650 dollar maaco job is a JOKE and WILL flake off. a REAL paint tech wont touch a car for that. Plastidip doesn't peel. doesn't chip. comes off clean. and doesn't fuck anything up.

thanks for adding to the reasons why 240 drivers are considered fucktards. maaco paint jobs are a joke. as are most of the opinions stated here.

IM FROM FLORIDA. just kidding. Im from texas. Where real men live. and little bitches get shot in the hood. *snip.

Haz good day sirs, bitches, hoes and cunts.

why spend 650 for a shitty paint job you'll just get bored of, like a dirty old whore? spend the 2500 once, then plastidip it to protect it. and when you wanna see that REAL paint job, peel it back off. or be a dousche, and wreck your shit into a pole.

snip

but this is a bimmer, so its not acceptable to wreck. unlike our 240 missles.

Ok haz a good day.

^^My buddy telling the truth but I still know these hard headed fuckers aren't gonna get it in there head lol

That sky has been dipped twice already, another friend of ours has a retardedly low Subaru that's been dipped and not long before he did it the car had gotten a BRAND new paint job because some dumbass lady hit him. new fenders, front end pieces blah blah blah. Dipped it and the paint is still flawless.
