Gimme some time ler...maybe around next month or if anyone wanna try first...*hint hint SupraFanatics*

There's a dude on youtube did on his blue Lancer. Initial plan was to do just the bumper but the matte effect didn't sync with the hood so he did the hood then it didn't sync with the fenders, so he did the fenders...haha!

USA is only USD6-8 ok...dirt cheap for them to improvise plan on the fly. Not here.

lol just do it ! Then share the pictures and updates here. Remember the white stripe i did on my car hood? The pearl stripe...it gets dirty easily because the surface isnt smooth and its white. But I did quite some layers so I can just use chamois to clean it off without much problem. You should really try the clear bra on ur car and maybe ur ahem..female partner as well

I'm wondering how many layers you guys spray normally? I've tested to sprayed 2 layers on my car's remote & a small part starting to chip off on the next day :(

lol dude of course lar your car remote is often being either inside your pocket or being thrown here n there so it is easy to come off. That you gotta use the dip version which is more concentrated. However if you insists of using the spray type, make at least 5 coats. Allow 20-30 mins between coats. And then, top it over with a layer of normal clear coat paint. It becomes more difficult to peel but it bonds better. But still no guarantee it will work well.

Best is about 4 layers...or 5

First is thin, then the later ones are thick right? Thats how I did mine.

Ehm~ If you're spraying, first layer should be 50% transparency, Can repeat on the second layer then the third should be a more consistent fill-up on the edges or angled areas. The fourth or fifth should be a lil thinner just to even out everything. Monitor your spray speed and distance and if you're outside, monitor the wind. very tricky

I spray outdoor but i have cupboards surrounding my spray area so it would block the wind.

You'll need a respirator for prolonged spraying & future DIY sprayings... wanna get one?

So who going to go black with his kukujiao? Please share results. I am very interested to know the shear stability of plastidip due to friction.
