Here are some real world pics of Plastidip'
The spray gun handle.
The better spray cap. The red cap spatters a lot.
First attempt, 4 coats, did not sand the stripes level. peeled it later on and sanded them down and resprayed.
Closeup with flash(black). If you want a shinny coat, they make a "glossifier" that gets it to something between true gloss and semi gloss. Look for videos where they use the glossifier. It peels easily.
Spyder with Dip. 2nd attempt. If you look close you can see the stripping in the areas around the rear view camera. This happens when you don't have good overlap. Add another layer or two and it usually straightens out.
Closeup of spyder. Color of paint is Ford's dark shadow grey without the red pearl.
More spyder.
Side mirror.
I have been experimenting on getting the Linden Green color with the plastidip as it was the cheapest option. It involves using industrial pigments. I found a Sherwin Williams store that supplied them and one of the managers is a gear head. When he heard what I was trying to do he gave me a generous sample of the colors I wanted and didn't even charge me. Just gotta give him a ride when I finish. To keep from getting too long winded I got close but could not match what I had for a source. Looked just like it wet, but when it dried it was always too dark. So after I put my second choice, the Gun metal grey, I found a few errors(texture and a run) after about 3 coats. Plastidip, when it runs it is like a sheet moving instead of the fingers you see with paint. Knowing I was going to have to peel it off and needed more coats. I mixed all the samples of the Dip and added some anthracite grey I had laying around and not enough to do anything with and sprayed it on 2-3 more coats. Interestingly enough, this is what the resulting color looked like .
Here is a quick video to show how easily it peels. To do the complete car takes about two hours or so. The curves and scoops really slow you down.
