Default So I've been playing with liquidrap "plastidip"

I looked into getting my 991 vinyl wrapped last year and got some pretty outrageous quotes so I decided to try out liquid rap also known as plastidip. I've had it done once last year before the winter about 6 months ago and had it done in a matte gold/green color called Cobra chameleon. I removed that a week ago (royal PITA when a shop doesn't spray on enough coats, it takes a long time to remove it. But when it's done properly it peels right off in one motion). I had it done again a few days ago and these are the results. Will probably change it up again at least once before the lease is up.

I also did the wheels in a copper metalizer, a bit aggressive and not for everyone's taste, but it's bold and "summer" enough for me.

The green wasn't my thing, but the blue looks awesome!

Just wondering - does P Dipping your car get you out of parking tickets? If the ticket says you have a blue car and your registration says you have a black car does the ticket get dismissed? I would think so.

I kind-of like it.
Would be good to do for a track event, I bet!

I like the blue but I think it would look better with gold wheels.

I actually really like the blue green. That is the best thing about Plastidip, you can peel when you don't like it anymore

You plasti dipped it yourself or had a shop do it for you? I watched some youtube videos on guys plasti dipping their cars and it doesn't look too difficult. Was thinking about doing my other car but never got around to it. Best thing about plasti is if you don't like it, it peels right off.
