Started the Plasti-dip color transformation over the weekend. Washed my jeep off good to remove any grime or junk. Since I have a white XJ, I took the recommendation of the DIPYOURCAR,COM website and put a base coat of gun-metal gray first, then the camo green (my final color) over it.

had a few hiccups around some of the trim where the Plasti-dip adhered to the tape a bit too much and it took some off the body, but that is the great thing about plasti-dip, just redo it until you like it.

I only got front quarter panel and the two drivers side doors done before I ran out of time. will finish it up as time allows. Hopefully by this weekend.

Here is a pic of my progress so far.

 

Its, plastidip dude, you dont have to tape off alot, if just peels off cleanly

 

That looks pretty good man let us know how well it stays on over time!

 

Hmm... this makes me think

 

Wonder if they have CARC Plastidip? LOL

 

Are you going to plasti-dip over the quarter panel armor?

 

How much did it cost to do that?

 

Take a look https://www.dipyourcar.com/Pro-Car-Kits-cat/ price depends on how many gallons you want and what color.

 

looks very good keep us updated on it... it might have been a lil cheaper doing the cans tho idk about the quality difference tho.

 

Damn that look pretty good. Doing my wheels in dip today (Sunday). Did you use the spray CANS for that or a spray gun? Any blotchyness close up? Can you post a picture 1-2 feet away? I may have to do the same thing. My factory paint blows.

 

comes in spray can too. holds up nice. iv painted a few cars with it. don't like it? jus peel it .
cans are about $6 each

 

If you use 5 coats or more and do it right its pretty smooth.

 

Bird poop eats it I've tried it.

 

So doas small trees and low hanging branches

 

here is a closer picture as requested. It goes on pretty smooth with no lines like regular spray cans typically leave.



I haven't had any issues with any bird poop, just washes right off. I am sure that branches could scrape it hard enough to rake it off, but after its on for a few hot days, its stuck on there pretty freaking good. I haven't hit anything substantial with it yet, but am not really worried about it. #1, it is a jeep after all, so scratches really don't worry me and #2, I have an extra couple of cans to patch up any issues. Heck, if I get a bad enough area, I will just peel it off from that part and redo it all. Piece of cake.

All together I probably have about $130 or so in it.

Just as a reference, here is what it looked like in March when I started working on it:



and what it looks like now:
