diy matt paint jobs

Postby sabreuk [OP] » July 8th 2012, 10:33pm

well been looking at colours to respray the van in and found this on you tube. its a new viynl paint instead of viynl wrapping the cooln thing is you dont need to mask the windows etc as the paint just peels off, the only downside for me is i dont want a matt/satin paint job but i do like how it works. see what you guys think............

i see its been a while since you posted this, but i have contacted these folks with interest if they can do other colors, I saw whilst on their website they have something called a glossifier <--- spellchecker doesn't like that word, which as i read it does away with the flat finish! dipyourcar.com

Ok! I am going to try this! The other day I was looking at my van and thinking about how bad it looks with the unfinished roller job and the factory paint peeling down to the primer. I wish I could find it locally.. although I am tempted to buy a can of Plasti Dip™ from Home Depot and then thin it down.

What I like is that you can spray it on and peel it off.. so if you need to paint your car a particular color for a party, social event, or if you just need to clean up the appearance of your van.
