Is the end result a gloss or matte finish? Looks good

I see that they now offer a new Metalizer product that does not require a base coat. https://www.dipyourcar.com/True-Meta...Dip-Spray.html

Surprisingly good result. Not a fan of plasti dip but you did a nice job.

That's a pretty good deal! Still on the fence if I wanna try and attempt this...I mean I could always Peel it off!

I was the same way until I finally did it, now I kick myself for not doing this a long time ago.

That is a bargain, I may need to get extra for touch up later.

jasonle89 · 04-30-2015, 01:31 PM

To be exact, $39.24 including tax for all 7 cans of mine. Lol so cheap

lsturbointeg · 04-30-2015, 01:49 PM

I'm guessing this stuff is not ideal for calipers?

yeah, I would avoid calipers lol

jasonle89 · 04-30-2015, 02:41 PM

Did you have to move the car up and down so the wheels rotate between coats?

No, I just double check each wheel after each coat just to make sure i got good coverage. I also apply to the edge of the rim as shown in the video for better grip.

Cool

jasonle89 · 05-02-2015, 09:20 PM

What you guys think? Im not 100% yet. Maybe im not used to it yet

lsturbointeg · 05-03-2015, 12:01 AM

Are those 19's? It came out pretty sweet!

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 12:25 AM

Yea just 19

Rudeja · 05-03-2015, 09:00 AM

Man, that LOOKS GOOD, you did a great job. Perfect finish. Are you going to peel off the wheel caps ?

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 09:50 AM

Lol it's not perfect, trust me. The issue was sometime the spray came out as a drop. If look closely in person then you can see it. It's fine on picture. And yeah I'll take off the plasti dip on the cap
