Plasti Dip Test Spray with Pictures
I test sprayed outside just to get an idea of the texture and ease of the "dipping" process.
Three cans for the hood at $5.75 per can.
After the second coat a leaf landed on A wet spot (go figure) and when I brushed it off I smeared the paint and it dried uneven.
Once it fully dried I took it off. It came all off in one piece and it feels like latex.
This is the look I'm going for...
Over all I am very happy with the out come even though it was just a test. This stuff is amazing in person. I will be "dipping" my car this summer, but next time in doors with a real paint gun. I want to do mine in gunmetal grey.

Plasti dip has the car kit you can buy and it comes with a cheap electric gun. I think it retails for like $250 and comes with all the paint you'll need to do your entire car. Someone over on the Cobalt forums did his balt and I think it took something like 11 cans of plasti dip and like 9 hours...I'd have to find the thread for the exact times and cans. I like the look that Plasti dip gives but some people find it cheap and unprofessional to use. To each his own I guess...

You can't beat $65 a gallon.

That's a really interesting idea. It might even cover existing stone-chips nicely.

I think people put to much effort into "half-assing" stuff they do to their cars, just so their cars can look like something that a 5 year old did
Honestly though, if you need to do something like this to your car, because you can't afford to put real paint on in, or you think "you might change your mind" when it's done..... then maybe you need to be looking at your financial situation a little better, before you even think of spending your money on mods for your car
This is not directed to anyone personally and might have sounded harsh, but it's the truth.
