The real story on Plasti-Dip for an entire car
I really like the look of some of the matte paints out there.
Been checking out Plastidip but whats the real story on a car that would see 12-15 thousand miles per summer?
Pics are nice but in person is it a high quality professional finish on the car? When it is removed to sell or change colors does it just peel off if its applied properly?
What are the downsides of doing it?

Just go to Lowes and buy a can and spray it out to see the "quality". If you've never used it before you will get a firsthand answer to your questions.

They look really good up close. I gassed up next to a guy with a 350Z that had been done in green with some accents that looked really nice….
Not sure of the durability of these things, especially with love bug guts on the nose during fall with longer drives in the south. This might not be a good dd option but, for a garage queen, absolutely….

Factory finsh may not be that good but hopefully it cant be improved by this process.
