I don't know if some of you guys are aware, but there's been great progress with the dipping scene. People have already tested out pigment powders, pearls and everything on dip and it's wonderful





Vinyl wrapping is yesterday's news - dipping is going to be the norm soon enough
that copper is sexy...

question...if your car has some dimples and dings, does it get covered up by dipping it?

The copper has pigments/flakes which I'd like to figure out how to do as well - looks MUCH like the copper metallizer which is available in cans imo


Yes, dip can cover light dings and scratches

Dip also covers road rash on wheels pretty well to an extent

Wait wait wait. Hold on guys.



If you spray plasti dip with the glossifiers and metalizers and stuff, can it still be peeled off just like regular plastidip?

Yes, it's fine

Just don't be spraying metallizers and other enhancers on top of a surface that isn't dipped - you'll run into problems

Also don't be spraying anything that isn't made to be compatible with dip - the dip won't peel off when you want it to and will make it permanent

Well that's coolio. My brain just assumed the glossifier would make it non peelable. I vinyl wrapped one of my old cars, and from experience and the final outcome, I'd say just order a bunch of cans and dip it (if it's a cheaper car w/ an amateur at the wheel)

^dont wait until tomorrow!
The dip is best pealed 30-40 mins after spray. Any longer it "hardens" and the dip will peal irregularly. You wont be able to get the clean peals.

Shake extremely well. Temp of the dip is just one factor that comes into play.

I definitely did some dipping yesterday in that impresesively muggy weather. The cue cards I was slipping between the tires and rims were "wet" by the time I was done.
