Bye Bye plastidip/track weekend

avsbmw · 06-29-2014, 09:53 PM

Just thought I would share a couple pictures. Decided to peel the dip and going to be doing something else.

I still have to go and clean up the dip in the cracks.

How big of a PITA is it to get off? 1 hour or hours of picking?

wonton180 · 06-30-2014, 02:54 PM

yeah, its amazing to see such a change.

how did the plastidip hold up to road debris or other scars from the road ? (since you had it on a while)

Shipkiller · 06-30-2014, 04:16 PM

Looks like NCCAR....

GuidoK · 06-30-2014, 04:23 PM

It holds up pretty well. I had six coats on. I don't drive it much though and it stays in the garage when not in use.

I did hear this was coming up. We actually ran with one of the guys from the club this past weekend. I joined the NCCAR private member club and you can't beat the track time for the cost.

No damage to underlying paint. Paint looks great!

I had it sprayed by the gallon using a gun. I think I used two gallons. 6 coats. Make sure you do at a minimum 5-6 coats. You will be very thankful when you go to peal it.
