My plastidipped Porsche ;) (bunch of pics)
 

I wanted to give my car a new look, so I had it plastidipped. I like the way it turned out. Here's what it looked like prior:

Here's the new look, I went matte black all the way:

Hell yeah.

sweet baby jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt, i like that.

Looks cool
how do you plastidip an entire car?

Your plates remind me... we had a Freebirds open here...

I was always against plasti dipping a whole car until I saw this vid yesterday.

That looks absolutely gorgeous!!! I am really into the matte finish these days seeing how very expensive automakers (lambo, benz, bmw) are charging a huge premium for these types of finishes...

I want to do mine in a slightly more exotic color like a medium blue...

Yes, how did you do this? I like the flat black look. Although that looks flat grey? Maybe it is just how the pics look.

That's bad ass!!! Did you do it yourself? Holy ****************, 986 was made for flat black!

I had it done by Dip Your Ride Dallas. Here's a link to their facebook page and they have a lot more examples of ones they've done. They are a little slow (I was supposed to have my car back last week but I didn't get it until yesterday), but they do nice work.

Freebirds is greatness. I used to go there when my wife (girlfriend at that time) was in College Station. A&M Law is actually in Ft. Worth. I have to settle for Chipotle on the drive ;)

got a huge chub from that video... the clear tail lights on that 911 are gorgeous!

Hahaha! "got a chub". Haven't heard that in a while!

I just started the vid, I have a partial already!

Off 'da hook! Thanks for posting!

I think its beechin'. Great job. :cheers:

I like! Nice job

Wow, that looks unbelievable well done!

Of course this is a professional job. Everyone can safely forget about doing this with a can of HomeDepot PlastiDip.

Sorry, have to ask: How Much?

Ha, my first though was: After you have used this as a getaway car for robbing a bank you turn the corner, rip of the PlastiDip and ............:cool:

Yes like in the movie "the jackal"! Yes please tell us how much. The kit on dipyourcar.com is a few hundred...

I like it too. If you wanted to go back to the original color again, does that new finish peel off?

I'm sure a DIY'er can do it a lot cheaper, but I don't have that kind of patience LOL It was $550 for the body of the car including the hardtop, $125 for the brake calipers, and $155 for the wheels.

And to answer one of the other questions, yes, supposedly if I were to peel it off, the paint would be fine beneath the dip.

Does it get hotter than regular paint in the sun?

I'm not a fan of partial Matte finishes on a car but I have to admit it does look more interesting when the whole car is matte.

I wonder if they have a radar/laser absorbing stealth matte black finish? :D

Does plastidip have a shiny chrome color, that would be cool. I like shiny things.

They do not have a chrome but they do have some metallic's - you can find all of the colors here: https://www.dipyourcar.com/colors.html

I love Plastidip. Its amazingly durable and so easy to touch up its almost ridiculous.

Seriously?!? Only like $500 for the car? that is crazy cheap! I'd have to spend $200 in materials to do it myself! I may drive out to TX to have mine done!

I did my wheels myself (yes, home depot rattle can) and they came out GREAT! Cost me like $15 and took 3 hrs. I Was considering doing the whole car myself (yellow!) but wow - $500...

great job!!

How does washing the car work? It always confused me on how "easy" it is to peel off and get your original car color back.....if its so "easy" to remove it seems that washing the car would end up potentially peeling a corner off and giving problems. Can you wash plasti dip the same way you would regular paint? How long does it last?

This is what they say about washing.

Unfortunately, that whole "peels off easily" thing is a myth. Yes, compared to paint it peels off easily, but it's going to be tedious.
I've been running plasti-dipped wheels for 16 months, and I have yet to have a single "chip" or peeled area.

The key to washing is plenty of soap (for lube) and a soft sponge ;)

It came out great. I'd like to do a brighter blue for my car some day, and this looks like a great way to go.

Can you do a follow up post in a few months to let us know how it's holding up? I'm interested in knowing how the calipers do to. I was concerned htat htye would get too warm and that the dip might come off.

Will do (If I remember, I'll be right in the middle of another semester by then, ugh)

Apparently this is a heck of a deal if you are looking for red Plasti Dip. Just saw it on Deal News and thought of you guys.
