Default Plasti-Dip

Hey all, I want to plasti-dip my entire car flat white and leave some black accents.
But everytime I try to buy gallons of white plasti-dip every website says they don't ship to california

Anyone know a way around this or a site that does ship to cali? Thanks

go vinyl wrap your car you'll probably get it done quicker. last summer (june) i ordered a kit from dipyourcar.com and enough platidip for two cars (sc300 and a g20), they gave me the run around with lies until October. I said eff it and prob never going to do business with them again. Now with the reclassification of the product and being that it's illegal to sell this in CA. it will take even longer and harder to get.

I am in the process of wrapping my car this weekend. I think in the long run it will look better. Plus there are a plethora of shops in socal who will wrap it for you.

Vinyl cost too much for a temporary paint job lol. Come winter of next year it's going to be black again

I found a friend in Missouri who will allow me to ship it to him, then he re-ships it to me. I'll post pictures of the process once I get the paint

Probably has to do with Cali's ever changing V.O.C. regulations.

Yeah, I get tired of the same ol' thing after a while. It's gonna be going white, back to black, then maybe a blue, etc.
