Question about Plasti-Dip Clear coat
Hey guys,
So I'm looking into plasti-dip for my 359Ms and I need some help trying to achieve a certain amount of shininess to the black colour. I'm trying to get a border-line satin to semi-gloss finish if that makes any sense. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Clear coat (not the Glossifier) from the company? Now assuming we're going from a flat black to a shiny black, the following is what would fall into each category. I'm trying to get an intermediate amount of shine. Matte black: This would be a flat black Satin black: This is what the ZCP 359Ms look like ----> This is how I want my wheels to look like <---- Gloss-black: This is a shiny refletive black So I want a semi-gloss that is more glossy than the satin finish on the OEM M3 GTS but not quite glossy. So, has anyone experimented with the Clear coat sprayed on top of the black instead of the glossifer? I'm wondering if it will give me the slight bit of shine I am looking for. Not sure if the clear coat gives the black a slight glossy coating or not. I may be just wasting my time asking this question. Any insight to this question would be appreciated, not sure if my question is easy to follow. Thanks! |

Oh, and I know I can add one coat of Glossifier to get that slight bit of shine I'm looking for, however the Glossifier is not available in Canada. Apparently it's on Canada's dangerous explosives list, which is why I'm asking about the clear coat.

Just get the glossifier and only put like 2 coats on top of 4 coats of plastidip. Make sure to read the label of the glossifier as it needs longer drying times. My friend used duplicator clear coat and I used glossifier, we both think mine looks nicer lol

My car is completely black and mineral white --Performance kidney grilles, and side grilles, CF roof, CF vorsteiner from lip, painted reflectors, OEM BMW CF mirror caps, OEM BMW CF rear spoiler, rear Arkym CF diffuser.... Do you think the matte finish on the wheels will clash with these parts since they are a different shade of blackIf I use the Duplicolor clear coat do you think it would match these parts? I have mineral white paint, and I've never seen Plasti-Dip in person before, I just have 5 cans sitting in my garage. I'm asking you since you may know, will it look tacky on my car? Thanks!! |
