I dont get why people with expensive cars resort to the cheapest way of "painting" your car...

Got all my fairings painted on the Husky pearl white for less than $350, you sir got ripped off, this also included prep work.
Plasti dip is a cheap job just for temporary coverup, I would never paint a whole car/bike with plasti dip, looks like shit, and you can tell its not something thats meant to stick. It fades and loses color super fast.
Plasti dip is a DIY paint. If you cant DIY then you shouldn't even consider it.

I got my whole car professionally dipped (climate controlled garage with pro spray guns etc) for less than $1000, not dip vancouver. ... And Im really happy with it.
Its buyer beware just like anything you get. Anybody that rattle cans their cars with PD is nuts if they think they are gonna get a decent job.

That wouldn't happen even if you plastidipped on top of a layer of brake dust.

I stumbled upon this post in VAC. http://www.revscene.net/forums/59729...ml#post8640301
Looks like this the guy that bumped this thread was "stone819" and he removed his posts and no longer has an account.
So wonder the newer posts didn't really make any sense. Quote:
