I meant in general, I'd like to see the white too, poser BMW spec!
Better pictures will help but it's a marmite colour. I'll upload some soon.
Saw it this morning and might do another coat on some places.
Yeah been busy all weekend with this and the hydrodipping. Room still needs building but the original guy who got all the materials and was planning on building the room was meant to come over Saturday, but didn't
I'll keep you updated though.
Matte white would look good but difficult to keep clean with the texture of the stuff. Having it gloss would make wiping dirt off easier.

Looks great!
What you looking at cost wise (materials etc) to do something like this?

Yeah ive seen a few things online, none of them really look properly gloss though TBH, more of a satin, but would like to see in real life to make my mind up properly.
nice job, im happy to see a dipped Clio, specially a silver one, i was actually thinking about mate grey for my silver clio, i've tried plastidip on the black parts and small bits, the down side is the cleaning, the mate texture likes to keepd the dust, good luck with the business, i thought about doing it around here too. Can't wait for more tryouts and pics.

Seems to wash fine in the videos on YouTube?
Weekend most likely mate
Hard to say really for the prep material, spray gun, rent etc but the plastidip and thinners cost me £200
Would need to work this out, took me around 10 hours start to finish roughly. maybe around 500 for a clio, plus extra for gloss, which will make it cheaper than a vinyl wrap.
Think his referring to the matte finish, once glossified it becomes a lot easier to clean.

I know what you mean, gloss white is what i personally want so would love to see it in the flesh
for OP check this out, an ebay business claiming they plastidip your car , its just for your info to see what they charge etc

Yep.... defo be getting mine plastidipped. Kinda tempted by that chap on ebay though haha
Yeah sounds a pretty good deal to me.
I'd never thought about cleaning before. That's a valid point. What happens if you get bird poo on it for example..
I imagine you wouldn't be able to use any strong chemicals as they'd just destroy the plastidip, and I can't imagine you can scrub very hard

Water and washing up liquid. Hose down and dry, done.
No more polishing, waxing, claying.
Possibly if you have the glossifier applied
Few more detailed pictures, still need to remove some over spray. Job for tomorrow

Red looks awesome!
sorry if its been asked but how long does it take to mix, spray and trim the excess from a whole car?

Yes then tobz and almost identical the other side.
Mark, still waiting for my logo and website for both companies, then I'll advertise on the car.
Maybe a different colour, not too sure yet

I matte red really looks nice tbf, all thought matte grey would be a major win!
If your thinking of offering a plastidip service, I'd be very interested!
Good effort Tyler
