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.

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.
Ah I see.

I found your problem.

San Diego.

I HAVE A HOOD ON A CHEVY TRUCK THAT IS WRAPPED IN CARBON FIBER AND CHROME AND IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR $500 Oops sorry, I just now saw SD reference.

As far as getting it shot in PD I would run a Craiglist ad in garage sales asking for a referal. $4-500 sounds fair if you do the degrease\ wax removal and do the taping off and trim removal yourself.
You can sand the pealing paint and prime it with 2 part epoxy primer (spray can) then wet sand to feather before PDing it.

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?
Everyone i talked to about it told me just 1-2 years for non garaged vehicles on surfaces such as the hood, roof and deck lid. Especially the hood. Double especially if the hood doesn't have any heat shielding underneath, such as aftermarket hoods (which mine is). After that you can expect fading. My plan was to do a Carbon Fiber wrap and then spray it with clear.

My car is already Satin Black, but it's painted via SEM's Hot Rod Black single stage. But i two-toned it....Satin black base with a Gloss black top (hood, roof pillar, deck lid). But the Gloss black has cancer now. Sherwin Williams gave me the gloss black/clear for free so i can't complain.

Prius is the most cost effective car to own known to man. Efficient to drive, cheap gas, and lasts a long long time. I absolutely love them. The downside is I look like I care about the environment. I do not. This much I assure you.

I wont argue with you but here in California the majority of Prius drivers act like self entitled bitches, covered in Bernie or Hillary stickers and I have grown to despise all Prius`s. I do remember when they first came on the market that a study was done and it showed that they were so expensive off the floor at the dealer that the savings in fuel didnt kick in unless you kept the car for over 15 to 20 years. I`m sure that has changed today but I laughed my ass off at all the tree huggers thinking they were saving the planet and money when the first models came out.

Yeah prices must have really came down. You can get a used Prius for very reasonable price. It's scary when the main hybrid battery goes out but you can get some with most of the cells recharged (for lack of a better word) for only $1,000 or so with a 2 year warranty.

Did it coat evenly? No dry spots or anything like that?

Yeah it was easy as shit.

One time the wind picked up though and sorta blew some of the dip away from where I was pointing it, but I just used masking tape and newspaper to cover everything near where I was spraying it so it just got on the newspaper.

For the emblems I left I rectangle open and sprayed the whole thing. 4 coats or so. Then I just peeled it from the truck and it stayed on the emblems. No problems.

What brand did you go with? I actually wouldn't mind dipping the emblems on wheels on my ride.

Not true unless you put it on too thin. The more coats the easier it is to remove.
