Swagon_Rob Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 So I finally committed to plasti dipping my 05 legacy gt. I purchased the DipYourCar starter kit like 5 years but I never committed to dipping any of my cars. Originally I wanted to get my car wrapped but the cost is just so high. This is a happy medium for now. I picked their deep space performance kit along with their new dip armor for protection. I was nervous during the whole process but after I finished I was really happy with the results. And with the dip armor on top it feels like it has a nice clear coat to protect it. I plan on ceramic coating it after a few weeks. Here are some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitexc Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It looks pretty damn good. Can you explain a bit more the process? How was the paint on the car prior to the dip? How much $? Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moddingbug Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 So sick! Love all the variations of color. Now I have no excuses to plastidip that area on my rear bumper between the mufflers. How many coats did you do? I think they recommend 7-8 coats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Very cool, that reminds me of that "magic" green/purple color that a few late 90's Mustang Cobras had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around 8-10 coats but 2 coats are for dip armor which is kind of extra Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk It’s actually fairly easy. A lot of the work is the prep. Cleaning and masking the car off took some time. I purchased a DipYourCar spray gun I purchased for around $250 like 5 years ago and then I purchased the color this year. The color was around $400 and the dip armor was like $220. So like right around $900 for all of it but you can definitely go cheaper, I picked one of the more expensive colors. As for the process I would just watch a few of the DipYourCar how to videos. I watched a few videos and made notes and then just went for it. This was my first time doing anything like this and I think it came out pretty good. My brother is planning on doing his car now and my neighbor as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalsleeper Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm digging it!!! I love the idea of color being a temporary thing you can update when ever you feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
