been in contact with these ppl today and think i'm going to get my car plasti wrapped

Mat Red i think would be a nice colour but nothing over the top

lasts about 2 years £400quid

 

has any one done the same or had experience with ?

 

Its a plasti dip paint, similar to what we spray the trims with, the only problem i see is that if you get a stone chip the vinyl layer will start to peel off.

Some colours look cool but personally think the red looks like primer or oxidised paint.

That price is cheaper than I Imagined for somebody to do. Since about half my car needs respraying anyway I had contemplated doing it, but I dont like the matt look. You can do it with a special gloss lacquer too though.

Yeah, check out the dipyourcar.com videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/DipYourCarcom/videos. They have loads of them and it shows the entire process in various colours and styles (matt, glosss ...etc) and they answer a lot of questions people tend to have on plastdipping.

Yep Im gonna end up doing this, the compressor I got last year will be used for blowing tyres up and sanding :cowboy:

 

Good links Dave :)

that red supra looks bad, i think don't do with red!!!

i got my own kit for this. on ebay 115 i think it was with everything you need.. the paint can be foun from 65 quid for 5 ltr pre mix.. im gonna use it on my build. the paint spose to be good upto 500 degrees c so should be good on things like calipers etc. its allot like underseal but u can peel off and change it at any time. the ebay shops called matt-pack i belive for the kit but his paint is a lil expensive. dead easy to use. my 4year old can do it without getting any runs. well worth it plus its uk based

Mark where is this company. seems cheap compared to vinyl wrapping.

Don't do it, your car paint work is fine.

My painter has done it to a couple of cars now. Comes out brilliant and is very robust, stands up to pressure washing etc. Matt white is the nuts!!
