Love the factory colour. Try Riviera Blue next time?

997rs4.0

Here is some vintage gold with glossifier that I did last winter. I have yet to use them because the 6.3 is now a track only car.

For the guys who like to talk about car values, the owner of the blue gt3 in the second pic - he bought a friend of mines 993 c2s 2 years ago (10K ish km), just sold it for over twice what he paid for it (well in to 6 figures) and basically traded in the 993 c2s for the 997 gt3+30K cash!

The coveted Riviera blue would be an interesting plastidip color. I wonder if they do custom colors.

I like the new color, I've been considering a wrap.

I don't know about custom colours but if you look on their web site, there's a bunch of different pigments you can add to clear base and mix and match. You can also do different undercoat that will change the shade. Also, depending on how long you wait after the undercoat, it will give a different shade - i.e. if you use your final color coat right after the undercoat there will be more of an influence from the undercoat vs waiting overnight for the undercoat to dry completely before using the final color. Sort of trial and error with the colors. They also have a new top coat that makes it look virtually like regular paint - wanted to try but will have to wait til next time as it isn't available in Canada yet.

Yesterday I did my daughter's Mazda 3 with clear (for paint protection). My other daughter has a Honda Fit I did in pink for her (it has eye lashes), going to redo her's too.

The Arena seemed to be well preserved beneath. There is a new finish coat available to look like actual paint? That is good to know. In my experience with dipping (wheels) is that the "glossifier" is certainly not like "clear coat" it's a bit tacky and although it provides gloss it just is not nearly the same.

I have successfully painted clear coat over plastidip and the works well. I painted the bottom air duct on my 996TTS to body color. I don't know why Porsche left that last vent black but it bugged me. So I painted a thick coating of plastidip then i put oem paint then clear and it came out as indistinguishable from the rest of the car...to my surprise really. So I'm sure its not too far a stretch for the Plastidip people to endorse a process of their own.

Further, if it is "perfected" at some point it could mean the death of the "body wraps".....bad part about those is that you can't wrap "bits" like door handles and such/I think you must paint them partially defeating the purpose of a wrap....but you sure could "dip" em.

Interesting.

Oh and how was durability? I did wheels two years ago and the "metalizer" actually wiped off over time/washings.....so there is a lot of room for dip improvement IMO

Wow, looks great! Where did you buy the products? I am in Canada too... in fact in Vancouver. Would love to see the car in person!
