My Clio with Plastidip :)

[Danix60]

before the photos, i know its not perfect, but its better then the original color i had.
and with low budget i can afford only plasti dip.

How many coats?

You should put 6+ on for a decent protection.

 

[Danix60]

i think it was about 5 coats.
its was so hot that i cant remember my name :rasp:

 

[Diagro]

Oh I see. Didn't realise you were there.

White looks nice, might dip mine white lol

what did you use? Cans? How much did you need?

 

[Knuckles]

Why didn't you remove the stickers first?

 

[Danix60]

I painted alone.
I used 2.5 gallons pre tinned.

And about the stickers, I tried and it didn't go well, I will print "clio b' with carbon fiber vinyl and will stick there.

I don't understand? It was white so you plastic dipped it... In white?

Looking at the befores some repairs had been done to the bodywork but couldn't afford to have them painted so went for plastidip.

 

[Dan...]

Oooooh I see. I'm on my phone so couldn't see too much detail in the pics

 

[Danix60]

If painting the car was cheap in Israel, I wouldn't plastidip

 

[CrippsCorner]

Well, fair play. But I'm not inspired.

 

[Danix60]

Its well, I will stay with it until I will have some money to have a dissent bodywork color.

 

[StephenJ]

Looks loads better.

 

[Danix60]

Thanks

You should do the door mirrors & rear spoiler too.

 

[Danix60]

I wanted a bit of black too on the car, the spoiler is black vinyl, but looking an 172 spoiler to put on.

 

[cat171]

It's has black tyres, what more do you need?

Black mirrors look cheap, get them done too.

Looks like a van

 

[Danix60]

With the new tail lights

Considering you have a low budget and where you live, I think it looks pretty good to be fair. Though painting a car isn't cheap anywhere! Haha.

Agreed, good effort. At first I was thinking 'Why has he painted over his headlights?', but then I remembered it's plastidip!

I tried getting this stuff off my OZ F1's last week. Dear god it's not as easy as I believed.

So what you're saying is that the OP is a hero for being able to get it off his lights so neatly?

 

[Danix60]

If you painted only 1-2 layer it will be hard to peal it off. You need a least 4-6 layers.
Well, full paint here is about 1000-1200 USD, this painting cost Me 120 USD
