BUUMP!

Just put in an order for some yellow red and black plastidip. Going to paint my sunroof german flag when it gets in

Found a great website to source plastidip in all the colors for really cheap (though shipping can kill, combined with some friends)

I like orange.

Is that all plastidip + glossifier or what? Looks great!

Preview of my sunroof... More once I'm finished.

The wheels are paint, the mirrors, splitter and diffuser are Blaze orange Plastidip.

Does the blaze orange have the glossifer on it? now I am tempted to paint my car orange with Plastidip with Black accents.

How close is their red to guards red?

I guess I should ask whether that sunroof in the pictures above has red plasti dip on the centre section...

Dougs951

No glossifier. If you do paint it post some pictures!

I had planned on doing the whole car orange but it would look horrible with the burgundy interior.

Butters944

I was happy to find that the red is very similar to guards.

The pdip is slightly pinker, guards slightly oranger, but not much of a difference.

EDIT: no that picture is NOT pdip red, but I have since painted the red with dip. I have good pics of it currently, gimmie a bit to get them up.

Ah, okay. I would like to see them!

Here you go, and my story about the sunroof paint job which I kinda messed up.

I messed it up by using Plastidip Clear (NOTE TO SELVES: NEVER PUT CLEAR PLASTIDIP OVER COLORED PLASTIDIP!!!), wherever I sprayed it turned all white. Either way, it looks crappy but it's growing on me, has that look of old worn down paint to it, and matches the "battle worn racecar" paint scheme my car currently has. I like it haha

I have a broken valance I want to plastidip red, then lower my car more for kicks and giggles, so I don't have to worry about scraping.

Once I paint the valance in red dip you can get a better idea how close it is to guards red (not sure when I'll do that though)

any side shots of your car?

Just wondering how low you are.

Butters944

It's not that low. Best I could find right away on my fb. Old photos but suspension's set the same.

That actually looks pretty cool. I think I might try that. I wonder how the black center/silver lip would look on my spare set of D90's.

Butters944

Someone should try keeping the inside of the circles silver as well, like this:

Oh yea you can go lower.
