It doesn't stripe like a typical rattle can job.....its not 100% of course..and any rough spots i plan on going back over...i will say though that its come out a million times better then any rattle can job I've ever done before....now that i know i like the look and that its not permanent....and that its showed me how good my body Is..after i get it on the road I'll save up and take it in for prep block and sanding work and have a pro matte black done on it..within a year or so....this was mostly an experiment of curiosity to see what this stuff could really do.....my stang was so ugly no way it could look worse

How durable is this stuff? If it were used on a DD how often do rips and stuff take a section off?
I'm very intrigued with this until I can get someplace to really paint.

I have it on the bumper of my SUV. It has been there for about 9 months, and it doesn't have a single rock chip or tear in it yet. It has a little softness to it, so the rocks just bounce off.
Spent an hour watching all the plasti-dip videos....I had no idea. Seems like a pretty cool, low cost thing to do. Can you post a big picture when you are done? For the record, the PAC GIRL does nothing for me, just can't get past the big yellow head.
Looks great! I've been keeping an eye on Plastidip for quite some time now as a protective measure for Jane. If I ever live somewhere with a lot of gravel and rocks for a short period of time, that's the first thing that's going on. I'd rather save the paint the wear and then be able to peel off the plastidip when I needed her to look pretty / when I no longer had problems with rock chips. Seems like really cool stuff and I've not yet seen it damage anything underneath it.

Three years of work for three days of perfection. This pony WILL get back out on the road and it WILL reliably take me where I want to go... and it will always, always keep me safe.
Ha... who cares if the purists don't like it....looks good, but then again I'm a non-conformist...
The Plastidip is great we've been using it on wheels for a few years...(chrome wheels blacked out) and it works great. It does not come off unless you actually pull it off, and does not trap anything under it unless you spray over something....
The Cobra R wheels on the Fox are all Plastidip...

Just curious, how many cans and what size cans did this job take? My 69 is looking pretty bad and a saw a picture of a flat 69 coupe that looked really good. I'm considering it but I want to know what I am getting myself into first. Also, any tips?
Not to revive a dead thread... but did you ever finish the rest of the car? Been curious after some time, if you did if you're still happy with it.
