Default Plastic dip paint
Pretty good stuff for just mixing it up or before committing to paint. Took a couple hours. Finish isn’t bad for stuff you can just pull off.
I will try the gold for a couple weeks, tear off and return to silver or paint.

That looks really good, red on gold or bronze is probably my favorite color combination.

That’s exactly the scheme that I’ve been considering doing on my Arena Red car. I think it looks great on yours.

Could you share what the PlastiDip paint code/name is for the gold?

I’ve never painted a color that gets such opposite reactions. Love that. Outside in light.

I agree, it looks good on your car. Maybe it’s the Carrera strip that matches that puts it together for me.

The wheel caps really stand out since they are still silver!

Yeah, I will be matching those. Just waiting for final decision.
Funny some have said "Too Miami" in a bad way and others have said "looks real Miami" in a good way.

They also sell a dip remover if you have trouble getting if off. Spray it on, let dwell and power wash it off.

Looks great! You can also spray your center caps. Use painter's tape on the crest and a razor blade to trim the excess. Works really well.

If I'm not mistaken gloss is a secondary application that is sprayed on after the primary "colored" plastic coating.
