Car looks mean man. The color choice fits perfectly. I never thought of plasti dipping the whole car for the winter. Has me curious. How much does something like this run? Also can you wash a plasti dipped car or do you just leave it all winter the way it is?

You're welcome. I live in a very old wonderful architecturally satisfying part of Buffalo NY and there are a few lloyd wrights withing a couple miles, as well as some homes designed by people who studied under him. It's very cool.

it turned out pretty good, I still have it on my car, no scratch at all on the car, Plasti dip is a pretty impressive product!! I have so many good comment on the color that I had decided to keep it until next spring but now I think I'm missing my Sparklinkg Graphite too much, also I get a bit more attention then what I would want, I'll probably take it off this week, enjoy my paint for the summer and try the black Plasti dip for next winter!

let us know how easy it is to take it off. I dipped my wheels once on my previous car and that thing was almost impossible to take off in big pieces. It took me 4+ hours to remove and i still had a lot of plasti dip left on them that i just left there

Yeah I understand, that's the reason why I'll never dip wheels, because the little rocks that the wheel receive does'nt chip the plasti dip but it makes it less strong for when you want to take it off! It must be a real PITA! I just hope my front bumper won't be to hard to peel off!

Night Angle 2 by ADM5 Photography, on Flickr Looks like it held up great. And that's gotta be so nice not to have to worry about swirls. I love how you left the angel eyes stock. Works with the color for sure!

Thanks, but I'm now done with the Plasti dip for this year, I took it off last week-end, probably try the black for next winter, for now I'll enjoy my Sparkling Graphite!!

It was long at some spot where the Plasti dip was not thick enough but where there was enough it was pretty easy, ended up using a pressure washer for all the over spray on the edges of the panels, it worked really well. Overhall, not as easy as I would've like/thought but not something that would stop me from doing it again next winter! After having had the complete experience with Plasti dip I honestly think that it's a very good product that delivers, just the fact that I drove my car all winter long in the salty and dirty roads and that after the removal my paint is intact, I can't ask for more, plus the fact that I had a different color on my car for the past months which makes me appreciate even more my paint now is a good bonus too!
