I checked dipyourcar. California is retarded.... Long story short, because the gallon paint is thinned out for you it's supposed to say some words on the gallon tub (forgot what it's supposed to say). Plasti-dip doesn't have that so california banned it from coming into the state. If I want to buy it I'm going to either have to ship it to a friend in Florida or Missouri and have them ship it back to me. There's 2 downsides to that tho; if it goes through customs and they see it they'll take it away and no money back and it'll cost another $200 to get all the gallons shipped.
So $400 for paint and $200 for shipping, might aswell pay a professional the $600 and he does it all.

But either way if I do it or if he does it, there will be a ton of pics

 

Well do what you gotta do, hope all goes well. We will all be waiting on those pics!!! When i get home im going to do my door handles and grille. This stuff is addicting!!

 

Might be about a month or two for pics to come, gotta spend all my money atm fixing cosmetics details lol
It is addicting, I've been holding back plasti dipping anything untill I'm ready for it to be white haha

 

dude just buy a black can of plastidip at homedepot for 6 bucks and trust me u will never look back!!!!

 

I have 4 of those cans haha
But I can't do black accents yet because I'm not sure where I want them. When it's completely white is when i'll have my fun

 

Cool man! let me know how it goes.

 

Will do

 

Today I dipped my front emblem and grille. check it....

 

^That looks pretty beast. You're lucky you have a gray you can throw some black accents on it. On my black there isn't much I can do except for midnight it out, but my exhaust is too loud for that haha

 

Thanks man! Im going to do the door handles this weekend. I am now a real big fan of Plastidip!!!! I also need to do something about those headlights, they are faded

 

Does plasti-dip match the coating most of the Z interior has? Got some scratches I want to fix...

 

Keep me updated i wanna see how yours turns out lol and for the headlights sand them down with 400 sand paper, then polish them. It's what I did to mine and they looked brand new, just need to repolish every once in a while
Plasti-dip is all matte colors, idk how you would try matching up the coating of the interior

 

ok thanks, im going to try that. yes he is right, plastidip is a matte black but you can get the glossifiyer which will give it that shiny look and it will still peel off. It also comes in many different colors, I have seen guys do their interior with this stuff and it doesnt look bad. Check out the other plastidip tread called plastidip questions and projects thread
there u will find many z owners plastidipping away. If your interior is that bad try and look for those parts in a junk yard or ebay

 

i did my door handles and it peeled off too easy, rings car keys and stuff like that will also scratch it. i did all my emblems and love it, and actually removed the 350Z one all together. what i did on my handles is rough em up with sand paper, used satin black paint and matte clear coat.... but i either didnt clear enough or the hot texas sun is killing them. i found a local shop that i am going to take them to in when it gets a little warmer that is going to paint them body color for $60

 

thanks for the heads up man. Yes i figured that the door handles will be a high traffic zone and might not hold up so easily, however i will be putting some more coats than usual to see what happens. That will make the dip thicker and therefore stronger. Also i have never used my key to open my doors nor do i use rings so hopefully that wont be a problem. I might try that glossifiyer stuff, its supposed to add strength to the dip and it gives it that shine.

 

I'm actually thinking about going matte orange now.... what do you guys think?
Matte orange or matte white?

 

if u can pull it off that would be cool. Orange and black look nice!!! also the orange will get dirty less and might last longer. I say go for it. I saw an orange lambo with black wheels and it looked hot!!

 

Exactly why I wanna do orange :0 guy said it'll only cost about $50 more... I got a massive decision to make lol
