Plastidipping my whole car!!!!

Okay guys so as some of you know I was debating trying to wrap my whole car in a matte finish. I have since been given the idea of plastidipping the whole car. I have some experience with plastidip on my Pontiac G8. The great thing about it is that you can just peel it right off, it is completely reversible. It does not do any damage to paint whatsoever. I am going to order all of the stuff tonight and will continue to update the thread.

Here is my car as of now...


How do you all think matte white will look?

More to come..

From my experience, going from black to white requires substantially more coats. Go with their Firebelly Orange.

I have really been thinking of dipping mine in the matte blue like the vivid racing car. Im on the fence. I've done one car and it came out super smooth and nice. be sure to take your time and lay it down slow and thin. dipyourcar.com has great videos

The only thing.... the blue on the plasti dip site isnt matte. I'd have to call and ask if they can add a flattening agent
