Plasti dip Mini project

[Ollie RS]

Hi guys,

I thought i would share some photos of my friends Mini which just got plasti dipped in matte black. He is going to be selling this stuff soon so we thought it was best to try it out ourselves before hand although personally i wouldn't have had the courage to do it to a new Mini.

Here are some photos of the process, not great quality as it's from a phone and we did it at night so not much light :

Firstly the car was masked and prepped for painting






Painting in progress:



The finish from the first coat:



Will post some photos of the finished car but so far this product has really impressed me!

we did a test trail on an old front bumper with around 4-5 coats and i must say that the rubbery material is strong, i tried scratching it with my nail and i would say it's a bit stronger than vinyl, i will let time tell how durable it will be for the whole car but it looks positive

Might invest in a can or two.

Its hardly expensive.

This stuff looks mad, I'd be curious how well it last since your supposedly able to just peel it back off again?!

I've not seen anyone apply it properly with a spray gun though, only rattle cans.

Does it not need any (rubbing down) preperation?

If it comes off easy surely it's not keyed to paintwork.

Think thats the whole point of it, spray on and if you don't like it just peel off

One of my friends did this to his mini, looked really nice.

I did my door handles, bullets, front and rear diamonds and my tailgate badge yesterday. Its the easiest stuff ever to use. Needs no prep at all

Which one do I have to get always seems to be so many on the shelf?
