Default First time experience | PLASTIDIP - Flat Black

Let me share this with u? All comments positive or negative are accepted cause this is personal preferences, and everybody is entitled for opinion.

Two months ago I decided to put something different on my car. I was debating to go vinyl or paint with plastidip. The choice was obvious, and plastidip was the winner.

This is my first time no experience wath so ever but im quite handy. It took 12 1/2 cans of plasti dip and about 6 hours with another pair of hands plus breaks, taping and cleaning.

Here some pictures. Enjoy

Not my taste, but it is not my car. I hope that you like it.

Came out pretty good. Props, especially if it's your first time.

I like it. Why 12.5 cans? Did you use regular dome depot spray cans and not the air nozzle sold by plastidip?

It came out nice. Good job.

You sprayed your entire car and you're worried about a pin stripe? If you like the stripe, leave it on.

All i can think of is the entire glossy paint job that was just butchered. No offense but man that looks awful, it makes the car look like some garbage old beater, like some kid who painted his 1995 honda civic...sorry man, it looks smooth at least.
