We all know how this product could do wonders to our cars, bikes, tools, etc. But it seems like nobody has started any threads about the FAILs on this forum, after searching about this topic. I'll start :okay:

[Bahhbeehhaaaa]

my fucking god.. that's not how you treat a CL9.. :(

M.O.R.E. :devil:

[swfk]

Instead of the grille and window frame chrome trim he probably clicked "select inverse" and painted everything else :lawl:

I'm going to guess that these were the guys (fobs) that made the Craigslist posting about plastidipping cars. Watched too much dipyourcar.com videos.

Wish granted :fullofwin:

[Alphamale]

^Why is that guy in barefeet? :heckno:

[Duff Beer]

More white

[kluk]

speaking of plasti-dip i just sprayed the grill on my G35 lol. Looks great!

[wstce92]

if he had done the window trim and grill black too, as well as kept the lights as they were; I don't think it'd look that bad...

[lowda9]

I think the matte white actually looks kind of good. Matte black however is soo played out and starting to look worse and worse each time i see another 1 lol :heckno:

[J89]

lol apparently in the states a can is just 6 bucks!

[Limitless]

^Yeah, it's just in Canada that plastidip sells for jacked up prices..

I think the matte white on the BMW looks pretty good

[Supafly]

Wish granted :fullofwin:

wait a minute....thats not rattle can...:ahwow:

[Acura604]

should be posted in hall of shame... that TSX looks like ass.

[G-spec]

do yourself and the rest of us on the road, a huge favour and at least peel it off your fckin headlights and taillights


IF you do plasti dip your car (for whatever reason) it can be done right.. can't find pics now, but there's a guy on the G35 forums who did his whole car, except he did it in his paint shop with proper mixing of the liquids and proper equipment and everything, and it came out looking as smooth as vinyl wrap, not blotchy and rough like out of a can...

He warned others if you do it his way not to set the nozzle pressure too high, otherwise the plasti dip will rip your clear coat off when you decide to take it off.

[IMASA]

I don't know what's more wrong with that picture. The sorry excuse of masking the front windows, the use of a wagner paint gun, the fact that they're spraying plasti-dip, or the fact that the guy is barefoot.

[gramser57]

They sell kits now to plasti dip your car

rcubed plastidipped my RPF1's a few weeks ago

[spoon.ek9]

i plastidipped a portion of my front lip for my latest photos :D

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n405/SpoonCTREK9/DSC_9732edit1440.jpg

looks a ton better to me now :awwyeah:

[Szeto]

^looks great Jon and nice PS. What did you do??

[spoon.ek9]

^looks great Jon and nice PS. What did you do??

well my friend swfk took the photos. if you're asking about the lip, i taped off the upper section of the lip and plastidipped the rest. it gives the appearance of a regular type r lip plus what looks like a splitter in the front.

this is what the lip looked like before:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n405/SpoonCTREK9/Khloefront1280x1024.jpg

this car was my inspiration:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n405/SpoonCTREK9/eklip.jpg

the above car actually has a CF version of the same lip and what he did was paint the upper portion white. so since i had the lip in white already, i just did the reverse and plastidipped :D

[xilley]

^ i saved all your pics, hope you dont mind haha

and all your missing is that chick in your pics.

[niu99]

Looks like we got some MM wannabes. eh?

[rJZx]

Never knew MM design came up with the ideas of plasti dipping or vinyl wraps

[spoon.ek9]

haha nice, i don't mind at all. glad you like em! there's more to go along with those ;)

[Retrac]

Lol people seem to not be able to grasp the concept of, 'less is more.' They have to over do everything!

[Grim]

matte looks like shit on most cars...
i know it, you know it, everyone knows it.
and tsx is one of them

someone had to point that out :/

[jpark]

wow, not a fan of matte black at all in the first place, but looks like even more absolute shit on a completely stock car LOL

[jagan323]

lol, OP images made me lol.

[Psykopathik]

gotta love the over spray on the tires of the BMW.

[fliptuner]

^Why is that guy in barefeet? :heckno:

lol...if I didn't see the other pics, I would've guessed he was spraying in a back alley somewhere in SE Asia.

[rJZx]

I'd try gunmetal grey and if it looks tacky its only 300 and I could just peel it off...

did my grille a week ago..
don't understand why someone would treat a CL9 like that...:ohgodwhy:

[hk20000]

if you rub the edge of the headlight with your bare fingers you can peel the pastidipped headlight in a clean go.

Maybe the guy just wasn't too sure if the plastidip was dry enough for peeling?

[Psykopathik]

ok can someone clarify this for me. What is Plasti dip for? is is temporary paint? trim? some random paint product someone decided would look cool to coat their car in?

im serious. That first black car looks like someone shot undercoating all over it...

[ZordosZZ]

i think it's original purpose is to give tools and other things a rubber coating for scratch protection/ extra grip.

then people started painting the interior trims for a while and it eventually starting spreading outwards to wheels/outer body

i did my roof and hatch. not the greatest job on my roof but it's good protection against rock chips, my hood could really use it from all my highway commute

[swfk]

I painted it back in grade 12 lol the sub had the keys to the freeeee paint :D I want to get some white to paint the chrome strip around the grille and the black to paint the chrome around the windows. Couldn't buy a Mugen grille today booo

Dude the whole point of this thread is the FAILs of Plastidip. I posted what I found and you failed me? :concentrate:

[ZordosZZ]

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

either they're owning cars they can barely afford or they're hipsters and proper paint jobs are too mainstream?

[MWR34]

so i dont get it, are you these guys friends and thats why you have soo many pics of the cars in the works? or just pulling off a forum/facebook?

Link?

[wstce92]

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

maybe they want to try it out first? would be pretty stupid to blow a few K on a wrap job or even more on a paint job only to hate the color on your car.

$1000 dollars lol could have bought carbon fiber kit and just replaced the panels.

Lol, $1000 I could've stripped the fairings and got them repainted.

[6o4__boi]

wow...lol.

[Dragon-88]

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.

[Habboy]

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.

[spoon.ek9]

$1k on plastidip...................

[nah]

Are you suppose to take it off with a pressure washer though? I thought you just ripped it off?

Looks like it a part of it was torn off. That has nothing to do with "proper prep" work.
That wouldn't happen even if you plastidipped on top of a layer of brake dust.
