I don't know what to say about plastidipping a full car.

[twiztids4]

Seems like a pretty solid condem alternative...

[twiztids4]

You can even keep the balls safe now in more desperate situations...

[twiztids4]

On a more serious note Ill probably have to try this out relatively soon (on my car).

[DiscoPotato]

I saw someone on the g35 forums that plastidipped their entire car. It started to peel on them from weathering..

Is that normal or is it that he didn't apply it properly?

That was not applied properly. My b8 s 4 was plastidipped 3 times; once matte white for over 4 months without problems.

[twiztids4]

Anyone have any experiences of how well it holds up on the rims in northeastern climates?

[DiscoPotato]

Nice I've never heard of this before. I have my front grille dipped its held up great. No rock chips etc. The paint I had on my last grille would get chips but not the dip.

[1dopea4]

i put 8 coats of plasti dip on my rear bumper trim on my b6 and after a year it started to peel. but it does look great if done right. i don't know about a whole car though. or wheels.

[twiztids4]

I think I'll be doing the wheels really soon.

[Vinchenzo51]

Wow, you really ran with this idea huh. Cool stuff, didn't know they made metallic and gloss products as well. Good luck with the venture.

[Austonwerner4]

Vin you've had good luck with it in your roof

[infinkc]

Cool, do you have any deals on the Plastidip for your tools? the one you dip into? i had a hard time finding it as Homedepot and other big stores had no clue what i was talking about. I use it to coat the ends of pliers so you dont scratch things up.

[Sales@EPL]

It should hold up just fine as long as you apply it properly.

Yup! We have the Black in Liquid form - used for dipping things like tool handles just as you described. Retails for $8.98 - we sell it for $6.50. Not on the website.. if you want to order it just shoot me an email: Fonzie@dipyourcar.com

I never thought you could start a business simply off of PlastiDip. You must really love this shit haha

[1dopea4]

i wonder if i can use plasti dip to protect the paint in the winter :D

[Fonzie@DipYourCar]

ha.. I do.. and based on the amount of plastidip we've been shipping to Audizine members over the past couple weeks - safe to say I'm not the only one ;)

btw - big cactus green fan

[Austonwerner4]

I might buy 2 white cans for my wheels for the winter

[A4Turbo04]

is it best to wait till after winter?

[Fonzie@DipYourCar]

That depends on your objective. Some people use the dip specifically to protect their wheels from the winter wear and tear, snow, salt, ect.

If it's a cosmetic job, the plastidip will hold up extremely well to the winter elements - especially if enough coats (5) are put on.

I see a plastidip'd Y-pipe(and possibly valve covers?) in my cars near future
how does this stuff stand up to intense heat

[Capt. Obvious]

Too bad they don't make the yellow in a spray can, only the paint can.

Nice! Question; would PlastiDip hold up better on my RS4 grille trim better than regular spray paint? It has been on for almost a week now and is already chipping

Thanks for the compliment good sir

[LowA4]

I'm thinking I'm going to use this and the glossifier on my extra set of interior trim.

Yes it will way better. I've gone from paint to dip on my grille and it is way better.

[Scottie2LO]

Goes up to 312 degrees F without problems. The engine cover over my SC on my S4 has been plastidipped for 4 months and has held up great

[Fonzie@DipYourCar]

I have a solution for that problem - I thin down yellow - make it sprayable - and provide a disposable sprayer that comes with the kit. Send these kits out all the time!

As the previous helpful members stated, the dip will hold up considerably better to fading, chipping, road debris - and most of all is removable if need (unlike paint)

both colors are available through DipYourCar.com for spraying. All colors are.. really, considering we mix custom colors
