Plastic dip hood?
Hey guys,
Since it worked out well before, I figured I'd ask here. I am considering plastic dipping my hood. My paint is absolutely red, and chops from this last winter make it look speckled. I washed and waxed it every two weeks but at this point my hood is 2/3 red and 1/3 white. Since I don't have a sprayer or any equipment I'm stuck with rattle can. Calling local body shops yields quotes in the 300-500 dollar range (before materials and tax)which seems excessive for such a small hood. In leiu of buying paint in cans that will probably look like garbage/chip all over again, I was thinking plast dip, but a couple questions... When it's time to remove, will it pull even more paint with it? Anyone know offhand how close it is to 3po red (probably just buy a can and see myself) How resistant have you guys found it? How well does it hold up at the car wash/to waxing. I wash/wax a every other week and try to use carnuba wax once a month. Will gloss plastic dip or glossifier give a decent finish? Thanks! |
