So in this thread I will be documenting my use of Plastidip on my car. My paint was doing pretty bad and I need to redo it. I decided to put that off I would try to Plastdip my car. I did my girlfriends car to practice not too long ago. You can see pics of that here: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/162459-my-1st-attempt-at-plastidip-gunmetal-grey-w-gold-pearl-2006-sentra-se-r-spec-v/
I learned a few things with that and I will be doing my car with 3 gallons of paint. 1 Black, 1 Matte Clear and 1 Glossifier
First layers will be done with black plastidip. Then I will mix both the Matte clear and Glossifier together with the Pearl powders for the final coat.
My pearl powders were purchased from TKBtrading here: http://www.tkbtrading.com/category.php?category_id=12&page=g
It is actually make up powder and you can get almost any color in existence.
I have been doing a fair amount of work to get it to this point, but here it is when I pulled it in, Just after installing the rear window spoiler I got from the Owned group buy.
Here it is prepped for paint
Here is me mixing up the color. I ended up making it darker after this though.
And me painting the TDRs that will be going on it
Here is one that didnt come out right because of spotting because there was oil or something on them. But you can see it just peels right off
Will be painting it tomorrow!! Pics to follow the car show this Saturday!...
