Very cool. Thank you for sharing this project. I've always wanted to do this, that is paint a car with plasti-dip.
It takes time to take the pictures and then share them, I know from years of doing this. So anytime someone else takes the time to STOP what they are doing and take a picture and then later when they are tired, "do something with the pictures", (like post them to a forum), I for one appreciate it.
A monkey can be trained to post a picture to facebook, so it has so much less value.
Keep up up to date.

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
I have two gallons to practice with
One of the base gray and one of the frozen blue
I am getting a hood to practice on and I may practice on my wall mount pressure washer setup too
I have two sprayer systems and my dad will be there to assist. I'll try to get plenty of pictures throughout the process
I'm excited to attempt it

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
Good luck with your huge project. How long do you expect the dip to last?

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
Awesome project! I love dip! I've done one whole vehicle and many many wheels/grills/emblems/etc.
Its durability it surprisingly long. I've had wheels last around 2-2.5 years and still looked great.
Keep us posted, I am in for pics!

Re: Plastip Silverado project. First full vehicle dip
I use dip on lots of things and it last a long time years if you use the glosifier and have it plenty thick. The thicker it is the more durable it will be. The glosifier will help protect it from uv fading it. But even without it if its thick enough itll last years if taken care of.

They also make matte clear if you wanted to keep it matte and it would protect it from uv fading too. I use the matte clear on headlights and then spray glossifer over it and its like clear bra over the lights. Its cheap and very durable

I'm expecting a few years at least.
Not sure
