Toying with the idea of plastidipping the coupe, anyone got any idea how to work out how much you would need?

You might find some helpful info on there! CLICKY

Who'd have thought, a whole world of plastidip!

Excellent!

Great link.
Took me all of 2 seconds to find this:

I have been watching his videos on you tube. Quite interesting if you want to go down that route!

It's a very interesting route, for a temporary solution to stone chips, laquer peel or faded paintwork for a fraction of the cost of a re-spray or wrap. If you believe all the blurb it will also protect your car from nuclear holocaust and zombie attack. Can't decide whether to attempt it myself or hand it over to these guys

bacon butties + tea and i'll give you ahand to do it

Sounds like a plan! Only trouble is finding a place to do it, really need a nice big clean garage where the owner doesn't mind a bit of overspray.

What colour are you going for?

My dashboard panel refurb experience tells me that any rubber coating is spawn of the devil

Go luck, sure it is easy on, but off

I'd like to go for a graphite/ gunmetal colour but there is a little devil on my shoulder telling me to go for white or even..... camo , if i think it looks terrible i can always peel it off.

Mark,, have thinking of this stuff for centre console refurb as it seems quite tough from the web info, anyone know if its been tried?

Hi Steve,

Don't know about that, perhaps if it was tougher it wouldn't pick up finger nail nicks, but then I guess it wouldn't feel the same

Lots of lite coats , amount will depend on colour ie light colour over dark etc . But go for 10-15 ltrs plus thinners for that amount.

While it does peel off easy , if applied to thin it breaks up and does not come off in sheets and becomes a long process, as we found out at work . Just because you don't need to prep like for paint i would still mask any where you do not want the plastidip to go. The coupe may not have handles and mouldings like most cars , it could still be a mare to remove around rear cups and front bumper vents .

Thanks Cheech, some useful tips there. If i can find a venue i think i'll give it a go. I think masking would be a good idea, probably save time too.

We did my friend's coupe with 5l of plastidip and 5l of thinners. Was enough to give it 5 good coats.

Photos??

Ditto! Love to see some pics.

A friend of mine did it with 4,5 liters of plastidip and 4,5 liters of hardner in pearl white, still need a total of 2 liters to finish it up. So my tip would be use 6 liters of each for a good 5 layers with perfect coverage.
