have heard about this abit lately, you done many full cars??

looks likeit would only cost about 500$ including the gun to do a whole car which is unbeatable value.plus you could do it easily in a weekend

Then if you dont like it peel it off and do it again...

how good do the colours come up, seems everybody just does matt black

i have 1080 3M gloss black on mine, my boot isa factory black and no one guesses that the rest is vinyl until i tell them. trust me its good... i wouldn't be willing to drop another grand on it if it wasn't.

just for the record to wrap bonnet roof a b & c pillars and a bout a ten cm strip down the side at the back along the body conture was ~600 if i remember correctly, been on since last september and looks brand new.

Nikk_666 is doing vinyl wrap not plasti dip...

I havnt done plasti dip myself, but it does look the shit...

I lot easier to remove than vinyl too.

check out some of the you tube video with this guy Elvis installing and testing it, its pretty cool stuff.

If only I knew where to get the spray gun and materials easily...

at present its black and gunmetal grey so not overly obvious you can see in my dp if u look at the rear 3/4 panel, roof and bonnet

so what you have a 2 tone car?? post pics man

have realized plastidip also comes in GLOW IN THE DARK...paint my car with that shit yeah... :yes:

did you try ebay man :)

http://www.ebay.com....-All-Categories

spray guns, there is a whole range on ebay as well

http://www.ebay.com....pray+gun&_rdc=1

or you can just buy them at bunnings...

Unfortunately its not as cheap as in the US...but still its very cost effective way to change colour of your car..

not only that it is a great protectant for your cars paint..

elvis, fonzi I knew it was kind of 'slick' name...

I love to do my roof in matt black plasti dip...

Im starting to really hate the Import tax from USA to Australia,,,

cars are so cheap over there brand new, like almost half price in some cases...

Was that a home job? Or if not how much did it set you back?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
