Wow, it does look amazing! It looks like you had a shop do this for you vs a DYI project. Did they give you any guidance as to how long this stuff lasts and what temperatures the finish can be subject to?

I live in the desert and my concern is the finish would start to bubble up at 120 degrees and the heat coming off the pavement.

How long did it take to spray the car and do you have the exact color type\code?

Also, did they give you any guidance on how to wash your car now that it has been sprayed with this coating?

hi, thanks it took him 3hrs to do the job, didnt say how long it lasts but i dont drive my car in the winter soo it shouldnt be a problem, as for heat im sure u can google that up on plasti dip, and for washing rims he gave me products to spray on and brake dusts comes off on the rims, for the car he gave me a rag to wipe it down and told me to just wash it normally but use a rag thats to wipe plasti dip only

porka

looks good. As long as you can easily remove the PD and the original paint and trim is not affected. PD may also help with avoiding rock chips and door dings as long as they aren't too severe.

Matte wraps/ finishes have been a trend for a few years already....

thanks for the compliments guys, it costs me 500 cnd for the guy to do the whole car, he did a really good job, every one that sees my car asked if i got a new paint job, and yeah plasti dip is really easy to remove and does not affect original paint at all easier to remove than vinyl.

I just did my fixed gear bike in the same color from dipyourcar.com

You can add a couple of layers of gloss to give it a nice mettalic finish.
I peeled off a section that got a little bit of drip, all I can say is that this goes on very,very thin.
Don't expect any kind of protection. It's purely a temporary cosmetic touch. But on the flip side if you get a scratch, the repair is $8 for another can.

Good to know, that would be cool to have a nice glossy metallic finished. Imagine getting this in a glossy mexico blue for about $500, that would be a dream. I think matte finished is played out. Looks cool 5-10 years ago, you know it's time to move on when you see teenagers doing it with their civics.

Apparently it survives ok on exhaust tips, so a bit of desert heat should be fine.

Love the effect. Been meaning to do my wheels.

As far as the person asking about how to wash it, if you go to the dipyourcar site they show washing the car with a pressure washer from inches with no issues, so it would appear to be pretty durable stuff.
