Pro Dipper Custom Grey (plasti dip)

Prodipper · 01-20-2014, 11:41 PM

After months of having the simple but great matted look it was time for a change..something a bit more eye catching and tastefully done. Enjoy the pics!

Hood is still drying

it looks primered for block sanding then ready for paint

335Vlad · 01-21-2014, 12:41 AM

Wouldn't paint the BMW roundel

vladi627 · 01-21-2014, 07:40 AM

+1 on primer look

GQ_335xi · 01-21-2014, 08:08 AM

Just needs new roundels and car will look finished.

J-Spec Dan · 01-21-2014, 08:29 AM

still can't believe how plastidip car kit can turn out. looks great

shadow191 · 01-21-2014, 08:33 AM

Why does it look chalky? On your hood, it looks like a bunch of smudge marks.

e92ninja · 01-21-2014, 09:02 AM

my exact thoughts.

edirtaynine · 01-21-2014, 01:12 PM

looks like a pretty good job spraying, but that hood is a mess. plastidip only looks "good" in pictures though... so basically plastidip is a key tool in impressing internet peoples. lol

DC_Oldboy · 01-21-2014, 01:26 PM

Looks pretty good.

Alen E90 · 01-21-2014, 01:31 PM

looks cool

DOMs335D · 01-22-2014, 07:17 AM

I am sorry but I'll have to go with the group that mentioned the primer look..

Mardio · 01-22-2014, 01:37 PM

Too each his own, if you like it great.

Kid Eh · 01-22-2014, 03:49 PM

Doesn't work for me either. But better than others dips I've seen.

not exactly, if its done correctly that it will have a nice smooth finish on the car. If its done incorrectly than you will see a bunch of bumps, almost like orange peel. I wouldn't dip my car but hey if he likes it, more to him. Job looks like its been done right.

I would disagree being that this mix has a pearl accent which obviously can only be seen in person.

I can guarantee you that it's not chalky nor it has smudge marks if you look closely on the 6 picture what you see is the sun creeping in giving the hood and part of the right but a change of color due to the sun. On the 1st picture you can clear see the the hood in it's final stages of drying.

I will take closer picture of the hood but I guarantee you it's as smooth and good as the rest of the car, I've been plasti dipping for almost 3 years now and I have done many cars, I am all about detail and smooth quality finish especially on my car since it's used to advertise my work.

I am honestly cool with it being that it's a new color to me and it's different but it's only a matter of time and I will be doing another color.
