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

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...

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...

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. smile.gif

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.

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.
