Finally got around to starting the job of Dipping her blue. Used 3 gallons of Flex Blue Plasti Dip. It's not finished yet, but looking good so far. I am going to do the hood and roof black tonight, and touch up the blue, than gloss the whole thing. Let me know what you think.

Don't gloss it!!!

Looks nice, though I always liked a shiny finish. How do you care for it, wash, wax?

Gloss it! That baby will sparkle like the stars above!

Plasti Dip is easy to wash, little bit of soap and water and a light brushing, and it's clean. Dosn't hold onto much of anything.

It won't. Glossed Plastdip looks weird a rubbery/plasticy.

Looks great, looking forward to seeing what can be done to mine.

Looks good, what color was it before?

velocity149 · 05-01-2015, 08:51 AM

Car was Red Hot. now it's Flex Blue. Turned out great, just have to do the finishing touches tonight.

The new DYC topcoat looks very good. It's not really a beginner product though and is pretty hard to apply but the outcome is way better than just a gloss coat. Here is what it looks like from DYC: https://youtu.be/z3WqtXToOfU?t=1526
