I dipped my 97 kouki white I also used the glossifier and added blue/purple 2 tone pearl, platinum pearl and silver micro flake came out ok nothing like real paint though, it has a lot of texture it's not smooth but you will need about 4 gals depending on what color your car is originally. My car was red it took 3 gals of white just to cover the red and I still needed another gal for my body kit. It's ok for the price but you do get some peeling/lifting around the edges, door handles from use, and window seals but for a drift car to just switch up the color I guess I would recommend it being that it doesn't crack, flake off or scratch like paint does.

Painting an entire car with plasti dip is a joke. It's not made to last. It's removable. Paint your wheels with it in spray can form on the cheap. and matte finish..... come on. Matte paint only looks good on expensive cars not on your junker 240.

However, I like seeing cars in all differnt styles so if the matt look is for you this seems like a cool route to take.
You car looked great at the SoCal euro meet , I had the black Kouki s14a at the meet

Anways. Like everyone says, if you're going to spend $400- $500 on plasti dip and you do your own labor, why not spend the extra $200-$300 on top of that and get a decent quality paint job?
You can get decent paint for $200 at any auto paint store. Just ask for their miss-tints and extras.


Paso dipping the car is stupid, its hard to wash and maintain. Fuck, you can rib it off with your fingers.

[QUOTE=jamg;5080825]Has anyone plasti dipped their car?

If so, how many gallons did it take?

I'm wanting to do it to my car. Cheap alternative to paint, and making it look decent.

Matte White is my color of choice so far, but I'm still looking for cool colors.

it actually looks pretty cool.




This car is sick seen it at a few meets down here. wil perez

One thin plastidip actually lasts a good 7-10 years! i have had my car dipped so far for 3 months and looks just like the car my buddy dipped for two years! And the blue 240 with orange whells is mine.

If your considering it why not Vinyl wrap you car yourself? About the same price as that plasti dip kit and will turn out a million times better. And it's also removable.

Google plasti dip paint kit. Comes in a lot of different colors if you insist on doing it.
Its not only selling in rattle cans its also selling in gallons and five gallons and more depending on your wish! and i can post a close pic of my car the only thing thats is orange peel on my car is my wheels cause they dont have blaze orange in gallons yet and only used one can on all 4 rims!

and it took about 2 gallons to do my 240sx

I was just referred here. I love threads like this.

People who hate on Plasti Dipping cars either:

A. Have never dipped a car before
B. Have never seen a properly dipped car before
C. Tried to dip a car and did it incorrectly
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.
