I understand how much time and patience went until that project. I applaud your work. I went very small with my PlastiDip project. I started off with this

And finished with this

Looks awesome!!! I've always wanted to do my car like that. I did paint a guitar up in that scheme. It looks sick great job!

Very very cool man. I wish I had your patience. I love the matte green hands down. I am more of a conservative guy as far as the "decorations" but I love unique and you nailed it in that department. May I ask what type device you use to apply the dip to get even coats, no runs and smooth? I bought a Porsche a while back and the paint has not been well taken care of. My plans are to matte black the trunk, spoiler, rear bumper etc. I have yet to decide what the best method is to apply the dip.

Any advice/help would be appreciated but again good job on your car.

Thanks for the compliments! Its still going strong on the car for about 2 years now but its almost time to change the color again. Once you do it the right way you realize you can change the color of your car like changing your underwear! Its all plastidip so if you do small sections use the cans. Its actually easier to paint the whole car than it is to do small areas as i have painted over 20 cars now. I highly recommend you do your research into DipYourCar.com and check them out. You can buy a car kit with the HVLP sprayer and paint for $300 to $400 depending on the color. Then practice! This was the second car I painted in my short career before I sold this business for the one I have today. Now I just do it for a hobby when I feel like it. Not a bad trait to have but its not my main money maker anymore

The Air Force did a story on me this last month if you want to read up on the history of the theme. http://www.goodfellow.af.mil/News/Fe...ark-chevy.aspx

Great looking car. I will be interested to hear what ammount of effort will be needd to take it off after 2 years, please keep everyone updated on the process as I'm sure I am not the only curious one. As a side note, I read the linked article and had to chuckle at the end, I traded in a 2013 Challenger when I purchased my Camaro and had done vinyl graphics on it making it Lightning McQueen.
