Default Plasti dipped DeckLid

Hi, i'm new to this forum. I live in Amsterdam and i wanted to share how a plasti dipped decklid looks like. It's not easy to get my hands on this stuff because the US doesn't ship it to Europe (for me).

I sprayed this with the Wagner W550, it's alot cheaper for me than using spray cans.

After -

I filmed it too: http://youtu.be/6g3txwlLM3Q

A job WELL done!

I'm not going to lie though, I liked it better before the plastidip personally. You get credit where credit is due, and you did an awesome job!

Looks great, good job. Glad you took the time to prep unlike some of the other plastidip jobs I've seen on this forum

I think you did an outstanding job! However.....IMO if you didn't have stripes it would be perfect but with the white stripes it looks out of place. Now if you had black stripes, it would flow well.

I didn't think I'd like it with the stripes, but I do! Good job!

Overall idea is good but like mentioned above, black out panels don't look right with white stripes on a red car IMO.

Psssh you're silly.

I think the black out panel looks great, OP. Nice contrast and good job on the plastic dip.
