Default Plasti-dip
Hello all,
I would like to buy plasti-dip to use on my C5. They do not sell it anywhere in Montreal. I will go to the states over the weekend (Vermont/NY). Where can I find some, and how much does is usually cost? How many cans would I need to spray 4 wheels and a lower facia? Thanks in advance for your info.

lowes, home depot, ace.

2-3 cans; you may have some left over for touch ups later down the road.

I bought 2 cans, just in case. I didn't want to run out half way thru, but only used 1. You have to be quick with removing the tape before the plasti-dip sets up or you will be removing some of it with the tape.

I think the back of the car looks great! Love the color with the plasti-dip. Whole backend goes great together.

They look different which to me is a good thing and I think that they sound pretty good. Would love to hear them in person. If you're happy that's the most important part.
