Plasti-dip...too rice?
O boy I am prepared for some interesting feedback on this topic ha!
I know there is going to be some interesting comments for what I am thinking about here, but I am having a vision and curious to know if it would be something worth trying out.
I have started to hear a lot about this "plasti-dip" and it wasn't until the other night that i saw a video of "fonzie" doing a 2010 M3 in FULL matte white that I had this idea.
What if I dipped my 07 silver alloy Nismo in matte white with black accents? I found a couple pictures, one of a CLS55 in matte white and a blue CTS-V.
It would cost roughly $300-$500 for a full car dip as apposed to 3k-5k vinyl wrap or an expensive colour change. Just thought it would be a good way to preserve the paint and have something "different".
Be critical if you so choose ha, just a "food for thought" kind of idea. Just imagine a Nismo in these colours with blacked out lights and badges!

I think its a good idea if you are indecisive about colour choices. This is definitely a 50/50 topic where some 350 owners will say if it doesnt cost thousands of dollars its rice. I have personally seen a car that has been sprayed by a first time user with the $99 wagner spray they include in the kit and it came out awesome. Looks as good as a vinyl wrap and took way less time and effort. I am considering doing it to mine to see what colour I'd like to paint it.

ha i bet i won't, ill get to lazy and not want to worry about it haha, just an idea.
might have to take some pictures.
good way to retain the original paint is it not? ha i doubt ill ever end up doing it, it's more work then i would like to shell out ha.
well if a person wants to keep the value of their car without spending thousands on paint, isn't this a good alternative compared to the price of vinyl... in the end you can always peel it off!
the blue is pretty cool, white seems, chicky ha.
