msmile Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi! Just finished respraying my Supra with Plasti Dip It was the first time for me painting the car this way, so lots of mistakes made and lessons learned For those who are thinking about Plasti Dipping their cars I could say - its much much harder than you can see on Youtube , and there are many scenes cut so you dont really see some of the main things preparing the car and peeling that sh..t off. So if anyone needs an advise - feel free to contact Anyway, I got rid of that ugly Silver and now it looks amazing and Im happy with the result Its not finished though as i ran out of paint, so few more layers missing and the colour will be even brighter. Its for your judgment now :D:D More pics commin when its finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thats come out better than I thought - Needs some new rims to really finish it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good effort. Not sure I am a fan though. What was the reasoning behind plasti dip? Better than silver mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmile Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Other rims are in my garage, just waiting for new tyres, and the tyres are waiting to be bough lol and theres some plans for carbon front diffuser under the bumper. I went for Plasti Dip just because it seemed 'easy' to DIY (as im DIY guy ) and wanted the car in matt. It wasnt so easy as 'seen on TV' lol, but still possible. We will see how the paint lasts now.

a98pmalcolm Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Great job mate. What would make it look great is some face lift style headlights. I have some pre face lift headlights converted to face lift, let me know if you interested in buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I wouldn't mind doing my front splitter in this stuff. Durable, easy to repaint when it gets damaged and looks ok. Good product. Nice work on the Supra, looks better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That looks pretty good! Silver's not that bad though, with the right exterior mods. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/326116_346768812077911_1370414657_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yea looks good mate. Did you get a kit with a spray gun or just the cans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 i'd use a glossifier/metalizer over the top unless you want the matte look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It must cost a fair bit to do the whole car. Especially if its cans. I'm guessing to do it properly you remove the spoiler, lights etc which becomes and pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 you can buy big tins of it mate for compressor use. Seen a few people do the whole car for £400 to £600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks great in the last two pictures, nice work. +1 Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks great imo. Have to wonder if I should be going this way now rather than wrapping mine a second time later in the year. Did you use the small electric kit, or a normal compressor and gun? Well done and love the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I like it. I think the public will as well. There are a lot of silver supra's, this will definitely stand out. Good call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmile Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yea looks good mate. Did you get a kit with a spray gun or just the cans? I got the spray station. I cant imagine it can be done using the cans How many cans did you use!?lol! 2 cans of 5liters was not enough lol, 1 more commin lol Looks good mate, Total cost DIY ? ~500 You boot brake light seems to be stuck on dude! Massive improvement! Are you doing the bottom of the ridox skirts a different colour? Yap, will try to cover in carbon fibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceu Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 hey bud loving the finish and top job. you mentioned a compressor, did you not use the electric gun they recommend?? i was looking at getting a big can and freshening up some parts but i have heard issues with a compressor and normal spray guns?? also did you thin it down and how did you find laying it all down??
