I want to do this. I love it because it is not a permanent thing. It makes me want to do it bright matte blue or something. Awesome! I do have a question though, and I hope it isn't too stupid. Can you buy plasti dip in a gallon paint can to use it with a sprayer? I have only ever seen it in the spray can and I think that would take a lot of cans haha. Any help from the OP (or whoever knows) would be great!

Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

They have a ton of stock colors and the custom combos are endless. I think I am going to go with matte gecko green (monster green on their site) pearl during the spring.

Are you talking platidip.com? I am just wondering because I can't seem to find a "monster green" on their site. I really want to do my jeep some cool colour like green or blue. Even the red you did on the s2000 looks great. Does it look that good because of the red original paint or does the plasti dip cover up the original paint enough that it doesn't matter what the base coat is? Thanks! Also your JKU made me okay with getting 33's and a small lift because of the pictures you posted on other threads so thanks for that too!

Yes, you can buy plastidip in gallon jugs to use in a sprayer from Dipyourcar.com .

No. Google dipyourcar. The dip covers the paint but the color does effect brightness. If you spray something like green, orange, or red over black, it will be a little darker and a bit less bright than if you spray it over a white vehicle.

sorry i didnt see ur question at the end. just like the post a couple above this, you can go to dipyourcar.com and they sell the gallons there in many colors. they even have the "pro car kits" that come with everything needed to spray your vehicle including the spayer. there are a few different kits ranging from 1 gallon to 5 or more. YouTube "dipyourcar.com" and there are a ton of videos that will answer all of your questions. and no problem!

Good job! I like the matte black look.
As for the durability, I did my wheels a few months ago and they are still like new through half of an Alberta winter. I also went through a car wash with the hard brushes that pulverize your wheels and it held up just fine, it actually came out like new.
