+1...Rome wasn't built in a day.

so how many cans did it take?

Tyler, let's see some pics.

I actually think Orange is a decent colour on a car.

So what is this blue/orange job you are referring to? Have pics you can share?

Oh sorry, i didn't do the whole car. I did other stuff at home and for my bike.

If i was going to do the car i would get the car kit.

Well the car is blue, and most of the parts under the hood are orange. You'll see it this summer

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.

Gave my Evo a bath yesterday and snapped a few pics of the dip job on the front snout.. held up great all winter! I think i'm going to do the whole car for next winter.

Click the pics for high res!

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 got the pro kit from Patrick @ DYC Canada with the Wagner sprayer.. works great!

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.

I will be peeling mine in a few weeks time, I will take some video of the process as well as some after shots.

I just found out I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a gal who thinks they can get us a better deal.

Here's a question.... Cleaning the car. How difficult is it and can you pressure wash it??

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.

Yay cool, that's good news!

You're not the only one

I warshed mine several times with a pressure washer, no problems. The dip actually stays much cleaner than the paint.. even when the car is rotten the dipped part still looks pretty decent.. it's magic!

Issues with touch washers at the gas stations? This is sounding too good to be true....

I've been through the touchless auto-wash several times this winter... do they even still have touch washers?

You can scrub it with a sponge just like paint.. It's tough! It's only coming off if you grab an edge and start pulling.

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.

I pressure wash my wheels then wipe them down with a microfiber cloth, I've never had any issues of it peeling off, going on my 3rd year.

I like it!

I'm torn between going to DYW and painting it myself.

I've contacted Jeff from DYW and inquired about a group buy if I do my car and 5 talons. 3 black and 2 blue

Here's his reply:

The 3 black ones 700$cash no tax each and the 2 blue ones 800$cash no tax each that's with a discount..

The blue would usually be 900+tax
And black ones are 750+tax

Your car will be $750 no tax

If anyone is serious and wants in lmk

Bun that!! I thought you said you wanted to do this cheap!?

Pfft! We're dsmers, lets get our hands dirty.

I know, but you know how the saying goes...good, fast or cheap...you can only pick two

I like good and fast

Seems reasonable, but still a lot of money.

Lol. It's is true.

If you wanted to do good and fast you'd get a real paintjob. It would be a waste to pay someone to plastidip a car lol. And that too 800$ :|.



If you can work on your car, I'm sure you can plastidip. Don't waste money on these types of things guys!

Good point.
Like I said I'm still in the fence

Well if your in the fence I doubt you will be getting out any time soon, sounds painful

It's paint, I don't think it's going to make your car any faster!!

Doing my Daily beater tomorrow with rattle cars keep your eyes peeled for pics tomorrow night if all goes to plan.

Hate to be such a stickler but I'm pretty sure the correct way to say this is "ON the fence"...not IN it

Sorry guys, that was a typo lol

I found another place (dip citi) that will do my car for $650. So for a talon it would be a little cheaper than that.

I still might just buy the kit and do it in my garage

Well I know this great garage that will do it for cheaper than that. Funny thing to he, lives in the same place as I do and he has the same name as I do too!!
