Re: Plastidipped my beater eclipse.
Yeah that was the whole joke. Ive known Leo for many years, havnt seen each other in years, but used to kick it way back when me and Chris Mo lived out at ODU ... literally 10 years ago now.

I recommend Rustoleum next time. You'd save another $320.

Re: Plastidipped my beater eclipse.
I saw this post and got really excited as I painted most of my car for just $30 using Rustoleum rattle can paint from Walmart, so I wnted to see how much better it could get...
...Then I saw your cost. WTF...

Re: Plastidipped my beater eclipse.
It didn`t cost me even a fraction of what the OP paid to do his....you can get the exact same quality out of the rattle cans of plasti as you can the gallon and spray gun. You just have to take your time and remember to keep a reasonable distance from what you are spraying. Not to mention having a good left to right sweeping motion as you spray. I feel like i need to make a youtube video on how to plasti your car without paying more than $100 bucks.
The trail rig is due for a new dippin, 10 cans is all it takes.
but.....then you couldn`t peal it off if/when you want a legit paint job. IMO i`de rather just peal off plasti than deal with layers of rattle can paint when it comes time to actually do a real paint job on the car.
But seriosuly, you could have had Macco paint the car for what you paid in plasti....next time just buy the cans because i do a whole jeep 3 times for what you did one dsm for.

I would still go for the Rustoleum job.
