Going for Peelable Paint
I am planning to paint my ZL1 using peelable paint (From Plasti Dip). Trying to have a very unique color that gives this beast a new identity. I have tested many colors and found myself always going either green or grey. Time to make the final decision & your opinion is much appreciated.

I would never do it because I don’t like the way plastidip appears on large paint panels, it is never smooth enough for me, even with their glossifier. Plus the edges will peel within a year or two and the whole thing start to look worn.I would much rather use 3m 1080 wrap or any of the premium wraps available…

No opinion on peelable paint... I like the darker green.

this also depends on the shop. knifeless tape has come a long way, and a reputable shop won't use a knife against your paint. finding said shop, however, is another problem altogether.

And if you haven’t read much of my stuff here, I am a big plastidip fan. I use it on a lot of small parts, mirrors, Wheels. rocker panels, front parts of the grill etc. I just don’t like it on large panels. |

https://www.cardip.ae/gallery/ As for the charge, all depends on the color, finish and car size. I haven't got a quote yet, but I can get a good discount. Usually branded wraps might cost around $3k while with plastidip the cost can be around $1.2k Last edited by zain; 06-12-2020 at 05:29 AM. |
