Plastidip
This is probably not the most popular mod ever done in this forum, but considering how the paint on the front of my car was looking it is much better. I got a kit from dipyourcar.com and did it myself. Not a tough job, but I did learn some lessons for the next time if I do it again.

Ricer!!
Looks good!!
I like it... How many hours did you put into it?
Yeah I was worried about that going into it. But it looks much better in person than primer. More like a matte vinyl wrap.Originally Posted by sammm
Maybe 5 hours working slow from starting to wash it, masking everything, then cleaning the gun and putting lights back in etc. I took my time and ran some errands as the car dried from washing it because they say moisture is the biggest problem when you are spraying the car.
Great job
So, did you buy the sprayer kit? If so, are you renting it out?

I like it. Can I get it in Sunburst?
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Did you use your neighbors driveway so it is black and not yours?
The coat looks nice and smooth.
Now you need to stance it.
I did, and I would consider it, to the right people lol.
I did try to protect the garage floor, but there was some overspray. Ill scrub it soon to clean it up.Did you use your neighbors driveway so it is black and not yours?

I ran a test for about 8 months on the hood with rattle can plastidip. It didn't come off as easy in some spots where it was thin. In other spots it came off pretty easily. The spots were it was real tough I actually just masked off a square and added more plastidip and gave it a day and it all peeled off in one sheet. I also did a test on the winsheild header with nice thick coats and the entire thing came off in one piece. I made sure and got several thick coats so well see.
I've had the same experience; its very easy to peel if it is thick enough to handle the pulling force. Glad to see how well though-out your effort is, much more useful as a data point than the typical ricer kid's work.

How many gallons does a Miata require?
Looks really good!
What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
I bought 3 gallons and left about 1/3 of a gallon in the can. I could have sprayed it, but the way it was going I wouldn't have made it around the car again. So I left it in case I need to touch anything up.
