quit

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

Yeah it did ! My new gun was a shock power wise compared to the rattle can ones Will do a thread on it later

Dipped my roof

I get fed up of " look at my **** sticker and tax disc "

Most the advice on their is wrong or way off

Apparently my mrs went to school with him ,

See the lad who posted on facebook he was off to Rob tesco in Kings lynn !

Yeah , posting it online isn't a great idea is it

Jesus are they all this stupid??? Fraud squad Guy got caught speeding , new owner of the car is going to say he was driving

Day insure . Com ?

yeah good point, 23 quid delivered for pre mixed black i was gonna get it pure and mix it myself, but i forgot to clean my mixing paddle after i plastered the bathroom lol

Well the dip is here , think i should of ordered more and done the bonnet too

Least it passed

i got a few, i need to get more tho! i did have a nice bug but my 3year old got hold of it

yeah i read all of that last night, was going ok till he got a bit racist lol, Tho its not a bad word over their. Infact i worked in finland and part of sweeden last year and its pretty liberal i dont trust many breakers i been stung by 2 ! luckily one on facebook messaged me and used his iphone with location settings so when i spooked him opening up the map with his direct location he soon backed down

the sti version looks mean!

march is about 6 miles from me across the fields! Infact my sister lives their now

fair enough! some people just want the insides as often 3/4th gears are knackered and i would take a punt at 26 quid to be honest

just had some bits fitted at my mates garage, drove it home in my lunch hour.... Its like a skeleton having a !Removed! in a biscuit tin now

erm, no idea but can find out i think ebay the case mate, got a diff attached ? They normally fetch good money

nice i fancy one of these soon

has it got a sticker on it with the code?

if its been sat in a garden, BIN! lol

also, i wouldnt put Sport Wagon in the title, Could be misread as a sport! Not that ive done that and drove 180 mile to view a "Uk2000" which ended up being a sport and a lack of knowledge by the seller

yeah, i had a bmw m3 which had 12 owners! I asked previous owner apparently most had got caught speeding / banned! My white impreza was one owner from new, tho 2 on the log book as he got banned and had to put it in his wifes name
