Ok heres my 1 week review....

Its about a 50 50 with me honestly. If you are looking for a cheap decent looking matte paint-job and don't care about your paint than the DIP is where to go. Its easy to spray on, you cant really mess up. All the over spray can be rubbed off headlights and glass no problem.

There are a few drawbacks tho.. I only did like 1 good coat. I just walked back in from trying to remove it all off of my front right fender... it took about 45 min... Since I didn't apply around 3 good coats it wasn't really like peeling it off at all, more like rubbing it off. Super pain in the ass. If you want it to come off easy you NEED to apply a good 3 to 4 coats. Thats around 9 cans..

NO it did not destroy my paint.
NO my fender does NOT look anything like that retards G36

Conclusion...
Again if your looking for a cheap decent looking paint job and are not concerned about your current paint, go for it! Just make sure you apply a good 3 coats. The dip does not look bad at all, I have gotten a billion complements on it so far and constantly do. But if you have good paint right now and you not broke as **** just stick to vynl.

I will be sticking to my original plan. I want to repaint the whole car Dakar yellow with a re-dye of all the fabrics and leather black with matte black accents outside.

At first i was like :excited: then i was like :banghead: and now im like :facepalm:

@cardsfan007 You make me smile. Just because you lick kpeng's balls does not mean I do nor does anyone. I have neutral respect, not anymore or less than I should. I guess respect that he has nothing better to do that sit on this forum and post all day.

@kpeng I have no beef with you but you are NOT right bud. Just because you have a high post count does not mean anything. If anything, that you have NO LIFE or nothing better to do. This may or may not be true but, I got news for you, it means nothing. I painted my car before I was a member here, I was looking for some feedback because I happen to love my car. I wouldn't of posted here if I DID NOT care about others opinions. Thank you for your feedback, its much appreciated but I regret nothing. I love my car covered in plastic or bird **** doesn't matter to me. And thats what should count. I mean thats what were here for right? To show off our cars, try new things, meet other people interested in the same thing? Just relax in not an idiot for trying something new.


Flame ended..

I have one word for all of you, and its called research! Its not remotely that I have "lick kpengs balls" as someone said but if you read all that kpeng has said you will realize that he knows his shit and should probably listen to somone who has as much history and knowledge as he does. Its called respect and respecting the knowledge that someone has and having the balls to swallow your pride and take advice like a man. End of story. Yes its your car and you can do what you want with it.

Maybe YOU should read this post. There is nowhere where I needed to swallow my pride.. I was merely showing off something I had ALLREADY done. Get your facts right bud.

yea,,,kpeng knows his $hit but that does not excuse him from treating people like he sometimes does. Ken. I have your kpengs guide to proper e46 maintenance printed out in book form and refer back to it and also refer it to friends alot. If you were like a nicer guy you would get so much more respect but now after a billion posts of killin noobs its just hard to respect or take you seriously. You have been being alot better as of late. I'll give ya that too.
Anyway plastidip may or may not have been a good idea. I give OP props just for having the sak to spray it on a bmw but its his car and damned if it didn't look good when finished. Maby try some of that bulldog adhesion promoter to get a better more permanent stick. I don't know but there has to be a way to make it more permanent. Just my 2cents.

I'm just honest, and this forum has turned to <sp>s<sp>h<sp>i<sp>t because we're now spraying plastic dip on our cars and people are defending it.

I'm going to start rubbing cow poop on my car and then everyone will praise me for being different and having the guts to be the first person to spread poo all over my E46.

This forum has turned to **** because there's always some a$$hole runnin his smart mouth.^^^^^ You little turds. I give ya a bit of recognition and ya turn into a punk a$$ lil bitcch. Dont take my kindness as a weakness. As far as gettin naked and rubbin your whole filthy ,fat lil body all over your car to achieve your cow poop look then good luck with that. Try to be nice and even throw out some advice to try for the original post and still get smart ass comments. Like I said,"this is why this forum has turned to shitt". Anyway,,,,Have a great day and keep protecting us from those fearsome noobs big guy. I bet your parents are proud of you.

LOL, ignorant little punks like you who can't even speak English properly, or formulate a cohesive thought, are the reason why I haven't posted as much any more. Look at what you wrote, you sound like a high-schooler trying to intimidate someone in the hallway.

You wouldnt EVER talk sshhiitt to my face you lil chunk of horse sshhiitt. By the way chunky,,,I got kids older than you. Go ahead and ethug,,I am better at it cause I am the kind of person who would REALLY do it to your face also. Can we get a bit quiker of a responce this time. We all know you just sit in front of your screen waiting to be a smartass to someone.
When you hit the search button for almost any question on this site instead of gettin good info all ya get is the op and then lil kenny using his smart lil mouth to talk crap to someone for askin. You have ruined the search function of this site. But then you always say search and its worthless to try.,,,,Cant use the search, cant ask a question, cant find anything except lil kenny talkin crap. Oh I also spelled crap wrong and ran on a few sentences and even used lotts of commas so that you can get me back. You chunk of fecies. Click down the porn and get me back and hurry. I gotta get up early for work and I only get to check the site once every few weeks.

If you are wanting track day protection, Plasti Dip has a "clear coat" type spray you can use instead of matte black.

I saw that, I was actually meaning for the finish of the car :rofl:

A few friends and I are building track cars from old $300 or less shells we picked up and are trying to decide the best finish to have. It needs to be something cheap, easy to repair (at track or at home) and NASA has the 50/50 rule that we have to pass.

The car has to look straight (undamaged) from 50 feet away at 50 mph (passing a still observer). Flat white would hide almost any imperfections, so say I bump a wall or whatever else, this would let me hammer any damage out and repair the paint and get out for the next session (or day) without having to return home. Vinyl is slightly more sensitive...
