    You’re the same guy that gave me this bit of bad info the first time I dipped my corvette.

    This never happened by the way. Car is my daily driver. Parked outside almost every day. Last dip was on for over 3 years

    Maybe if you keep it long enough you can do all the Skittles colors? I too enjoyed your original thread and looking forward to this one

    Orange is my favorite color. I did the green first because I thought that color would look sweet and orange is a factory color.


    I don’t like red much. Despise yellow and purple. Won’t be doing those Plastidipping my c7 corvette orange

    Removed tail light trim. Wish I had done this last time. Easy.

    Plus wet sanded one rough area on a door

    It's sound advice. I've owned the car 6 years and the car sits outside 24/7 and the Plastidip is cracking and peeling on the spoiler. If the car is garaged, it should be fine though.
