OK Boys, I've been doing my research and contacting people.
Dipyoucar Canada sells the three gallon Pro kits for $359 with 2 rolls of tape, mixing sticks, the earlex 3500 paint gun, 1 dipwasher cloth and 2 decals. Add taxes and $41 shipping to the GTA.
Single Gallons are $75 but if we were to buy 15 gallons (for the 5 people who expressed interest) he would give us a discount.
They are located in Gatineau and maybe Mike Eng would agree to be our gofer and deliver some on his next parts run to the GTA?
The same Pro Kit as above from the American site is USD $299 + $32 shipping to Niagara Falls, NY. However, if you wanted the spray gun, they are currently having shortages.
Now Dipyourcar sells pre-reduced dip. You could buy the regular stuff from another retailer and reduce it yourself with xylene to save some money. It is also possible to get even better deals than from DYC. But you will still need to go to the states to pick it up.

Wow you weren't kidding Highness, nice work on coding so I don't have to right click to see high-res.
The car look beautiful, did you dip with cans or the car kit? NM, found you post about using the car kit.
Where did you grab yours from?

I want to see you peel it off. Any horror stories of it not peeling off as it should? The only "Horror Story" that I have heard was some guy painted his motorcycle gas can and didn't like it, peeled it off and he said his clear coat was not as shiny as it was before.

Nothing wrong with using a pressure washer on Plasti Dip. Yes, if the pressure is too high or you hold the nozzle in one place for too long you could start to peel it off. But the same is true for regular paint, been there done that. You're not the only one

How does it stand up to small rocks etc, I've found one rock chip on my RA's hood from winter driving on the 401 I am sure. I always keep my distance to try to avoid it.
I might use this just like you did Greg, next winter. I was also contemplating using the 3M clear bra kit about $275 if I install it myself. Covers the hood to the vents, bumper, fenders, mirrors, would have to buy the kit for the lights separate.
