Dip Your Car
Some areas were to the metal as well as we wished to find a solution for it before it got any even worse - Plasti Dip For Cars.
We uncovered Plasti-Dip *. Plasti-Dip is resistant to sun fading, winter months ice, cool, and salt. It is additionally a resilient yet detachable material that will peel when we choose to pay for an actual paint work.
* We selected plasti-dip due to the fact that: IT'S NOT PERMANENT. I have not painted an automobile before as well as didn't wish to examine out doing a "real paint work" on our STANDARD. I'm satisfied with the result (nevertheless short-term it may be) it's offering its purpose well: safeguarding the VEHICLE while we decide if we will certainly select silver in the future
Plasti Dip For Cars
Action 1: PRO VEHICLE PACKAGE
We bought a huge professional CAR package on dipyourcar.com
The package features the DYC DipSprayer ™ System, 4 Gallons of Rubber Dip Spray, tape, DipWasher ®, Decals, blending stick, Dip Guard, Paint Stirrer and also Microfiber Towels.
We utilized Plasti-dip shade: Aluminum for the base and also Silver Metalizer for the leading layer.
Plasti-dip is also readily available in a spray can.
Action 2: SURFACE AREA PREPARATION
Since our old paint wasn't standing up any longer we invested a lot of time prepping our AUTOMOBILE to make certain an even surface.
Utilizing an electric orbital sander we sanded the rough spots then covered them with a spray on car guide that filled in small blemishes.
We also got rid of the emblems, lights and also reflectors from the body of the VEHICLE.
Action 3: TAPE Or Otherwise?
Plasti-Dip can be conveniently removed areas (such as fronts lights) after you have actually completed applying the last layer ... However: prepping the area decreases the headache of eliminating plasti-dip later on.
Making use of painters tape as well as newspapers, cover home windows as well as areas that you do not wish to obtain plasti-dip on.
We covered the wheels with 40 gallon sized trash bags.
Tip 4: CLEAN IT FIRST!
Prior to applying the plasti-dip to the AUTOMOBILE it SHOULD be tidy.
Plasti-dip is an overlay that will develop a different layer on top of any surface- including dirt as well as dirt ... so get the surface area REALLY CLEAN.
After cleansing the location dry it with a fabric.
Tip 5: BEST PAINT AREA?
Discover a location that is incredibly aerated and also from straight sunlight. We repainted the initial coat on outside in the shade- it was not an ideal area- the smallest quantity of wind developed a lot of overspray build-up. The most effective area would be an open garage.
Action 6: SPRAY ON THE PLASTI-DIP
Put on a mask. It is practical if you have somebody that will certainly follow you carrying the paint wind turbine as you go. Painting in areas as you work your means around the VEHICLE. COVER EVERYTHING! Also lay on the ground to obtain the tough to see areas along all-time low of the CAR!
The very first layer is your bonding layer- It is very important that this is a light dusting (50 -60% transparency). This will allow the remainder of the layers to bond as well as stay with the paint. Spray in a tidy sweeping motion, making sure to hold the sprayer 6-- 8 inches far from the area. Enable plasti dip to completely dry 15-30 minutes in between each layer.
We repainted six layers of Light weight aluminum plasti-dip as well as three layers of Silver Metalizer.
Step 7: GET RID OF THE TAPE
After the last layer is used, right away remove any type of tape or paper from the AUTOMOBILE prior to plasti-dip dries.
Tip 8: HEAL IT!
Now the plasti-dip will certainly take 4 hours to totally treat. DON'T TOUCH IT. As well as whatsoever expenses, stay clear of any type of substance that might trigger damage to the area.
Step 9: COMPLETING TOUCHES
After it cured we placed the symbols, etc. back on, changed our sill-plates, center caps, antenna and seat covers and included the C-Stripe sticker.
This is a big task. Take your time as well as do it well. It took three people dealing with it every open possibility 7 weeks to finish.
