Plasti Dip your Car
I have a tree hugging ghey looking Prius 2011 Prius. I want to make it a different color, protect the finish & clear coat during the winter, while covering up some surface blemishes.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Apparently you can put whatever color you want, and as long as you spray it with enough coats it should be easy to peel off when you are ready.

I'm not a DIY kind of person because I'm a sorry excuse for a man, so would need to find someone around KC to do it for me. Hoping around $400 total.

Initial thought: If it would peel off easily it would probably not be good. If it doesn't come off easily, it would probably be a PITA to remove later. Seems like a lot of money for a winter coat...

I've used Plasti Dip on wheels before, and they looked pretty cool. I don't know that I'd want to use it on my entire car though.

I've heard it will last at least 3 years, even longer if you do certain treatments for it. I actually like the temporary aspect to it.

My fear would be that it would jack up your clear coat.

I think your prep work on doing your whole car in Plati Dip will have to be spot on. If not, it's just going to peel off in spots and look horrible. I would never do the entire car in Plasti Dip but that's just me.

I personally would just get a decent vinyl wrap which will look better, wear better and last longer.

Yeah, thought about that too. I have two areas where the paint is starting to peel back on the corner on my roof. They promise you that if you have an OEM paint job you will have no problems.

He's looking at a $400 project. It'd be $500 alone just the wrap the hood. Major cost difference.

Yeah vinyl wraps are quite a bit more expensive though, yeah? Not like refinishing your entire car, but probably at least 3 times as much as Plasti Dip if I had to guess?

Also, unless the car is garaged, those vinyl wraps only have a shelf life of about 2 years on any surface that's in direct sunlight.

No matter what, it's still a '11 Prius. I wouldn't bother.

For an entire car to be wrapped you'd be looking at $2K at the very least. Likely more.

I have some cancer on my F-body's hood and considered a wrap instead of repainting. I couldn't find a shop to do it for less than $500 in San Diego. Just for the hood.

There are some youtube videos out there with pros and cons. It sounds like it has to be done really well, or it sucks, there is no in between. It sounds like a viable product if it is put on correctly. Good luck.

Want cheap, look cheap.

It's BWilie though.

What's the durability of Plasti Dip on a car.

Really, that's not what I've heard/read. I've heard most can get 4-7 years out of wraps. Maybe those are garaged cars though?
