Plasti-DIp here. 3 cans worth to do back and sides. Fairly painless - make sure you rub down well with some proper alcohol to clean surface first.

Hi John - thanks for the video - how have your plasti dip held up the past 2 years?

Also - did you plasti dip your wheels too?


I have a good amount of spraying experience, and having watched this video, plasti-dip by far seems the most cost effective and reasonable option, with a high quality result possible. I’ve bought the stuff to do it this week as soon as I collect the car so I’ll update as and when.

It clearly goes on very evenly even with a fairly loose technique.


This does not look especially technical, compared to some tricky wrapping. Clean your surfaces, mask well, and pick a time when the car isn’t condensation-cold or in baking sun etc, and it looks great.

Even if you were to refresh this every year or two you’d be spending a fraction of the cost of vinyl wrap, we’re talking <£100 to do yourself with no parts removal, compared to >£600 for vinyl with the rear tail piece still needing paint or dismantling.
