    My Plasti Dip Journey

    I have been using plasti dip for awhile now and have changed the look of my car a couple times.
    most of my work was small parts like emblems and wheels, but by the end of the month depending on weather, i will have plasti dipped my whole car.

    the plan is to have a color called plum crazy, it is a deep purple with a slight metallic shine. the trunk will be black, aswell as the mirror caps, emblems, grill, and wheels.

    attached are pictures of what i have done so far.

    Are the wheels in this pic the colour you're doing the whole car?

    No that's blaze purple, the purple I'm going for looks like this.
    It's called plum crazy.

    Ha! Are you going to do it with rattle cans or with a sprayer?

    i have a sprayer set up in the garage, its much more cost effective to use the gallons of plasti dip then to use rattle cans, just have to wait until the weather is warm. The wheels will be done with rattle cans as it is a small area, and my trunk was done with rattle cans.
