it's a process where they spray your car with a sort of rubber paint-it costs $900 to paint the whole car, and then you can peel it off yourself, when it's done...i was thinking of doing it to my RS...anyone tried this?

There is a thread on here somewhere about someone doing this to their wheels but I've not heard of anyone doing it to their whole car.

I'm doing the wheels on my rsa today, but I think I'll do the whole car-the cool thing is its so cheap to do ($900) why wouldn't you experiment with a new color every now and then?!

I've been thinking of doing the Cup2s on my car.

here's my wheels, after the dip...

i think i'll definitely do the whole car...i was thinking matte black, and then orange wheels...the thing about this whole dip thing, is that it's cheap enough to try some kooky stuff, i think...

.i looked at some cars they'd done, and was very impressed-it's not a concours thing, but it looks great

Looks mean as hell!

I'm with you on the possibilities with Plastidip. Have fun with your car.
Plus it might not be a bad idea to spray the whole car as winter is arriving, as an extra layer of paint protection. Then peel it off to perfect, clean paint in the spring...

It's also great to use as a "track bra" instead of rolls of blue tape.

i was also thinking a dark army green, with black wheels! the dipping thing has opened up all sorts of possibilities...!

How easily does it peel off?

philt68

if it's done properly, which means a good thick coat, the guys told me you can peel the rims off in one go, and a car will take half an hour

If you sign up for Alsa corp's mailing list they have in the past had major "online-only" sales with this stuff.

IDEAL for spraying your battery tray area and it will stick like shrink wrap and protect against acid leaks from battery. I believe it can be bought in aerosol form in small cans. Also because it is being sprayed inside the car you can spray an extra thick coat and when you want to remove just peel off.. The beauty is no priming or sanding just spray on

Cost to paint just my RSR wing at a body shop, $700 ... spraying my whole car with this stuff, $400 .... I think I'm going to give it a shot.

Looks like it peels off like skin after a sun burn
