Post by: v2brett on April 28, 2012, 04:25:15 pm: can be bought in aerosol cans like spray paint , the guy in the video is just using liquid form of the product and a diy sprayer which you get from b and q etc

google `plastidip`

Post by: Moz on April 29, 2012, 05:35:41 pm: I used this loads of times on my old grill, very very very impressed.

£15 a can though.

Post by: Little_Dave on April 29, 2012, 07:11:19 pm: WOW was looking pretty $hit at the start after a couple of coats all patchy and uneven but once finished it looked as good as a wrap :congrats:

How much would it cost to do then to a mk5 golf? gotta be way cheaper than getting a professional wrap done surely :party:

Post by: Moz on April 29, 2012, 07:20:19 pm: Not sure how much it is in liquid form, but the cans are £15 a pop and I managed to get around 4 grills from a MK4 golf with each doing 3 coats.

Post by: v2brett on April 29, 2012, 07:32:59 pm: not sure on a full car but the general rule is 1 aerosol can per wheel, so i guess you could say 2/3 cans per panel as a very rough guide

Looking at the way it peels off the lights etc I would say not very.......

Using the Plastidip primer first on a non porous surface makes quite a difference to its durability, a mate of mine has blacked out his Harley using this stuff and it's survived very well including regular jet washing!
