    Detail...errr not really.

    Decided to do a little painting on my beater so this definitely isn't a detail thread like some of you are used to seeing. It is what it is but it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think. I need to get side markers for it but just haven't picked them up yet.













    Still need to do the wheels and I plan on adding tint to the back three windows. Just something I did when I was bored and wanted this thing that was primer, green, and white to look better. I think it turned out great. LOL

    This stuff lays down incredibly easy and the nice thing about it is that if I ever need to touch up, it blends in nicely. Ideally, I could pull all of this off and the paint below would be fine...well slightly marred I'm sure but in hindsight it should be okay.

    Looks good!

    Just curious:
    What product(s) are you going to use to "clean" Plasti-Dip?

    Just regular soap and water. I purchased a special rap for it called "the dip washer" from a non sponsor....specially formulated for plasti-dipped cars. Unlike MF or cloth towels it wont leave any fibers behind and "glides" smooth over the surface.
