Why will it look worse?
Yeah. I don't care for it either. But do what makes you happy...
I wonder what it would have looked like if you did the roof white and some other white accents on the car while still leaving it red?? Like a boss 302? Or if you did some black accents but didn't just get rid of all the red?
Next time please ask us what we think of the idea because like others said it already looks bad and will only get worse

Yes you can go through a carwash with it.

It will look worse cause the sun will fade it and dirt will stick to it like a magnet. Same thing happens to guys who Rhinoline their trucks. It looks great for a month or two, then it starts to fade and bubble.
If you didn't prep the paint, odds are good it is going to flake off around all the edges, around the door handles, the corner of the door where you hand will run along it when opening and closing the door. Your nose will chip when bugs hit it, etc...
Remember how I told you I had a rattlecanned matte black car?
Ask me how I know these things.

Being being new around these parts I am unfamiliar with the term 'plastidip' which seems to be all the rage.
I am assuming you rattlecanned the car. That is what I did. $.99 cans of cheap Walmart paint, and it got me exactly the look I was going for. I did mine as an ironic joke. In the handful of years since I have done it, it has gotten a lot worse.
The handful of other automotive based forums I am on don't use the term.

Looks good to me! Great thing is that you can remove it when it starts to wear, they say it can last 2 or 3 years, but i'm sure that doesn't count the front end with bugs and rocks hitting it.
Try to find some stock 18 or 19's and dipp em neon green or orange!!
