RobD Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Has anyone had this done before? I just wanted to know people's experiences if any and what they thought of it! For those of you that's baffled by this its basically kind of like a wrap but its spray all over the car ( including glass, head lamps, seals etc) then they peel off the plasti wrap from your windows etc! Apparently it's suppose to be cheaper than a vinyl wrap and it protects the car more from paint chips etc Anyone know much about this?

Callaway Motorsport Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A friend of mine in Switzerland does his own product in pots for compressors. And its fantastic. The original Plasti dip has quite a rough and tbh crap finish to do a whole car, not to mention you will need a rediculous amount of cans. If your interested, i can ask my friend on the cost of a 2ltr pot (of which you should be able to do the whole car) He does any matt colors, recently he did a few new BMW's. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537347_10200201395068546_1273461790_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway Motorsport Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe i should have put that sentence a little different Rob, my friend Recently did those BMW's, but what i meant was, those were recently done, as he has been doing this for the past year and a half somewhat. And has done alot of different cars etc. Also to test his own product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 ive used it on smaller stuff.... very good stuff...if you dont like it, you can just peel it off....its very durable too....well worth a try! Right, think a colour change is in order when she is dropped off to you!! I have seen some video's too and seems to be very easy and simple to apply, perfect I think for having a temp colour or wrap for say an event.

Dan_Turism0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 looks awesome what they can do and now you are able to get pearl/gloss/metallic effects looks promising! I would like to see the finish in person though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see the finish in person though That front bumper looked naff. A nice bright colour would be cool n the winter months to protect t stock paint, then rip off for summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thats why i just gave the above advice, lol - - - Updated - - - Depending on price Rob. I would otherwise get it wrapped! Price they quoted me for a E60 5 Series was £450 but that's at a heavily discounted price as they want to use it as a demo. Not bad compared to the £1000 quote for a wrap so I am tempted !

TubbyTwo Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Anyone had a chance to have a proper play with this stuff? Looking to refurb my dash panels and was going the 3M carbon wrap route, but now tempted to try this for a more OEM look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What about the door shuts? I haven't seen them being sprayed in the few videos I've watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Can't find a supra but here's everyone's favourite: Looks much better than wrapping tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
