  1. smash it with a hammer

  3. my pressure washer was 40 quid out of machine mart, been pretty good even tho i neglect it and abuse it plus my mate thought it would be funny to fill my hose pipe up with cheapo washing up liquid when it was a in a reel (must took him ages) went to clean my bike and just got foam..... for ages
  4. this is where i got mine from http://www.matt-pack.co.uk/ 2 litres per coat on a full subaru size car he says, but he is a pro sprayer so i would think first time you might use a bit more wasteage but if you go to the dip your car forum some of the stuff they are doing is immense, after holiday im doing my alloys a bit different colour, still kinda subtle but not what you would expect lol
  5. popped to shop earlier, saw my mate in his R33 , found some quiet back roads for some angry style driving and i got home, brake discs were read hot and clutch slipping! sorted!
  6. smash the granny out of mine , sometimes from cold on rare occasions launch it out of junctions ,b roads, santa pod i dont care dont care! if it blows it blows its a excuse to go bigger and better
  7. yeah its really simple, i might paint the whole car yellow
  8. to clean off the over spray you can just peel it off, rub at it with your finger but i used my clay cloth thing ! was simple to get the rubber off (so she said!) all in that cost me less than 40 quid including the spray gun, it says it lasts a couple of years the brighter colours need a topping up every few months
  9. next stage was to peel off the tape ! i was worried i would get some of the dip and pull it off, but aslong as you get a nice solid break line then the dip stops itself and makes its own cut line ! here it is going to get all my windows done in black now too (tinted not dipped) think that will set it off a treat ! this is really simple stuff to use, it sprays so flat and dries faster !
  10. heres my plasti dip run over, i did my roof! it was origionally the subaru 52 deep mica blue, The roof was scratched and marked quite bad!. i had 2 options 1. vinyl 2. dip it i done some vinyl wrapping before, its ok on small bits and pieces but tricky and vinyl is quite expensive now for big sheets as loads of people are doing it so i looked into dipping! seems really simple on the youtube videos and i did a couple of tests with rattle cans which seem good for trim and small bits i.e. badges i purchased a cheap hvlp gun for 25 quid, and a tub of pre mixed matte black dip from matt-pack about 18 quid that cost so first up clean the roof used a pressure washer and blasted all the little nooks and cranies to be clean they recommend a pre dip wash which looks like alcohol, i just used panel wipe and let it dry for a half hour before masking up mistake 01: this standard diy tape is ****, use the proper bodywork blue stuff, the dip gets in the cracks and takes longer to clear up this is my gear so my car is taped up and ready to go! lets start lots of shaking up to start, shake that Mo Fo! alot !! then pour it into the hopper, i did a test spot on my drive (yes that building site looking thing im working on!) I planned on 5 coats but i had my gun set up wrong and the first coat was alot thicker than i wanted, you want to aim for about 50% coverage so you can still see the origional colour, i could but it was patchy and the roof rails looked **** and splotchy, the trims looked the same so i reset the gun, the dip was drying really fast and smooth! so i got back up and applied my second coat, this you want 75% coverage but mine looked more like 100 but it was hard to tell with such a dark colour to start thats it wet! you can tell its rubber based by the look of flat roofing repair stuff! i was really concerned here now plus it smells like condoms but after it dried looks good i thought but after my youtube constant research its not done, it needs more ! so i just kept blasting more and more dip on till i got loads of coverage mistake 2: ran out on the last rail so i got a slight run as i got too close and the air blew it from the gun but its on the rail so least i can peel it back and redo it easily instead of the whole roof this is coat 3/4 the spoiler curves are really hard, i was going in like a cross pattern each coat (front to back then side to side) to try get a nice even cover as seen some go stripey using tins up and down
  11. Yeah it did ! My new gun was a shock power wise compared to the rattle can ones Will do a thread on it later
