It is around 2-4k depending on color, quoted by Glamour.

I found it very expensive for a rubber paint.

Very convenient and fast, this one i agreed.

Anyone did it ?

Is it worth to do ?

4k can do normal paint job twice.

spray watever color u like (2K), use it for few months, if dont like, change another color or back to original colour (2k).

i dont see why plasti dip works?
its not durable, its not cost effective. maybe only fun..hmm

In fact plastic dip more durable with lifespan of 2-3 years without issues. If got scratch , just touch up with the plastic dip.

I had dip my rims and from bumper....one of the best product... if got peel, just take it cleanly and respray...

So far still look nice....excellent for chipping resistance part.

Rims very troublesome rite? Everytime you changed tyres, you need to respray again as the edges are all gone.

I spray using DIY can bought from ACE hardware. Effect not bad. Its mattted. If you wan shiny can buy another spray to make them shiny.

Plastidip might stain your car depending on your car colour. White for example is a no-no for plastidip.

Fast yes, compared to a full respray, a full car plastidip can be done in 1-2 days, compred to 1-2 weeks for a proper respray job.

Plastidip is great for small interior parts, or spoilers and grilles. not so much full respray.

plastidip supposed to be cheap solution compared to normal paint... 2-4k is taking advantage of the demand

2-4k I suggest you got for wrap.

I use Plastidip because can DIY only.

Yes this is more sensible.

I check wrap with Unicorn and another one shop in Sri Kembangan.

Wrapping even more expensive, 3-8k. Crazy I would said.

My is new car 6 months old accord 2.4 I bought Champagne Frost Pearl color, very easy to maintain but not so cool looking, though about another color, then Plasti dip and wrap came in mind. But the cost is so high.

from what i gathered, plasti dip should be a cheaper alternative to proper paint and for people to get creative through DIY

as we are not in the US, the supply is quite limited = expensive. per can USD7 here > RM50

also getting proper tools to DIY dip a whole car would be difficult

having said that, DIY plasti dipping small parts of the car as a hobby is fine

anything beyond that, not worthy yet.

any idea how to make the champagne frost color honda accord more exciting?

i am an executive, so lala will not suit me.

i need something elegant.

thanks in advance?

lol...if you had wanted exciting, you shouldnt have gotten a accord la. Not much you can do with an accord, rims,kit and LED DRLs..thats about it

i mean how to make the least excited champagne color more exciting?

any idea is welcome.

If you are an executive then I would suggest spraying the car a more executive colour, black comes to mind with chrome trimmings and darker windows.

Any idea on plasti dipping rim?

Make it interesting??? Why want to mess with the factory paint job?

You can always spruce it up with bigger 18 or 19inch wheels, lower it, give it a bodykit depending on your preference (VIP style, sporty look, etc...), heck... even hella flush if tat tickles your fancy...many many other ways...jus look towards google to give you ideas...

Paying 4k for a paintjob that feels like the ground of a tennis court ain't worth it...for me at least...

Or u can make it look like a camouflaged test car on the road...i bt no one's done that before

+1
Regardless of what you do to the Accord,it is still a D Segment car designed for uncle
If TS want something interesting,could have at least gone for Mazdza 6 in red(at least look wise it is)

here

its meant for dipping parts or handles especially on working tools.
but people are using it to dip their dicks in nowadays.
so yeah, it's not cheap because it was invented not to replace your car paint.

accord also can look badass lar... you just need to have the heart and passion to go and do it...

i've seen some pretty nice accords (exterior wise) rolling around... while you don't see that many mazda 6's rolling around in any modded form... mazda 6 seems more like semi uncle crowd to me in that sense...

you saying D-segment cars are designed for uncle?
then aunties have what segment designed for them? B-segment? or A-segment?

Previously I was thinking to put sticker for my power window controller and the centre console since it has scracthes on it, after enquire on few sticker shops, the cost is high.

The this plastic dip come into my mind. But I have few worries before starting to DIY myself...

1. Do I need to remove the whole door panel and dismantle the power window controller to dip it?

2. Since there are switches on the controller, I assume I need to cover those gaps to prevent the paint get inside of it?(might cause the controller wiring gone) Or just spray on it without any cover up?

3. After dipping my interior, will the paint leave some kind of smell inside my interior permenantly?

Any idea whether I can get these tools for DIY in Malaysia?



1st pic is Dip Nozzle and the 2nd is CanGun1.

Beside Plastic Dip, there are few others brands that have similar product such as Aikka. Anyone have tried this brand? Hows the outcome compare to Plastic Dip?

Hi my friend ,
If u ask me plastic dip is it durable n pratical...I would say I rather u spend the money to spray or sticker wrap...plastic dip is not as durable as u heard and seen...if u live at condo or apartment which is not landed how u wash ur car?
Those Indian or Bangladesh don know wat u say..their chemical will damage your dip
How often u park ur car under sun light?
The rubber will adhesion during heat....if the sales person say no..try ask him how many heat did the plastic dip can sustain
Touch up?forget it bro....here they say can free touch up...wen u go for touch up they say is u langar here n there need to pay
We are not 4 season country and our car long term park under sun light when start engine indication 45degreee.....if u dip...with in 6mth no any issue u r the luckiest man in the world
I say so cuz I Sudah kena con

I'm not planning to dip my exterior. Or you mean even interior also won't last long due to our whether condition?

I asked sticker wrapping cause about RM 400 for the centre console, 4 windows controller. Which I think is a bit costly...

Any idea how do they charge for the plastic dip service?

Mine interior and exterior...sticker is far far more better option...got Mr.DIY they selling 19.90 per bottle...get a piece of any metal or even ur hse lamp post oso can...spray on it... Make it record and by the time 90 days u can see the result...believe your eye n touch it...sticker is abit costly but worth...now my car is all sticker wrap...Audi A5 2 door

hi guys,

not sure how & where to start but if you can diy spray plastidip on your own, its really affordable + not dat hard to do.

example : for vw scirocco, mini, myvi, kelisa and similar sized car only cost you rm650 for sprayable plastidip + you need a spraygun.

of course using either plastidip or car wrap got it's own pro and cons.

there are few china brand rubber paint in the market but i guess you cant compare the quality and assume they are the same with plastidip.

in my opinion, i think plasti dip only for small objects, like motorbike's part, car interior plastic surface and etc.

if whole car go for plasti dip, hmmmmm, i would say no.

plastidip can go car wash centre?

Learn how to do the sticker yourself.
I did the interior of my car myself ie put stickers on all the wood look trims.
Once you do a few it is easy to do the rest.
In fact this morning I did the side sill of another of my car.
You have to use a very sharp blade and have enough balls to cut the sticker and not leave scratches on the car. Unless you take the part off and wrap.
I only paid for the stickers and took me 3 hours for my first car.
The sill this morning took me 25 mins including removing the sill from the car.

yes they can! watch the video
