Hey Guys,

So I am going to bite the bullet and plastidip my whole car.

I been reading about it and everything to do with the pros & cons

The price is just to good to pass up.

Anyone else done anything using this stuff?

I will post up before and after pictures when I finally get started

Ebay seller seems to have it.

But check out this website

Few of the guys in whoretown are telling me if I work out the total price its not great.

But I might do a bit more of a search in how much it would cost to do the entire car here in Aus.

I use this stuff gor random bits. 1 can will come close to doing a bonnet.

The only problem is that it is not durable at all. Stone chips will come up very easily.

I think you should do your bonnet or roof first to get a feel for the stuff.

Also to make it look even on a large surface is a pain

Okay so got a spare minute and worked out a few things.

To spray a skyline you need about 2 x 3.78L

These are priced at $250 on ebay

So $500 for all the paint you will need. (Not including postage but it seems to be around $100)

Then one of my mates has a spray gun so I dont need to worry about that.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
