Default Anthracite Grey Plastidip Project
Well I decided I wanted to change the color of my c5 from stock black to matte grey. I went with Anthracite Grey from dipyourcar.com - I did this same color on my '10 Camaro and loved it. Some will hate it and some will love it haha took me about a full day to mask everything off and about three hours to sparay it.

I like the mardi gras pearl in white. It looks white but at just the right angle it changes to a purple hue. I'll either do deep sea blue next or go back to stock black

DYC kits really are super easy to use.

Wow. I have to admit, that looks quite good. I like it. I'm not a big fan of Plastidip but now you got me thinking about plastidipping my wheels.

Have you seen the autoflex on DYC? Stuff looks like real paint and you can wet sand it, polish it etc. Might have to try it.

You can get a HVLP gun and compressor fairly cheap now. But the DYC gun works great for what it is.

Looks great! What did you use to spray it? I'm assuming you didn't rattle can the whole thing?
