Dip Your Car
Some areas were to the steel as well as we wanted to find a solution for it before it got any worse - Plasti Dip Car.
We discovered Plasti-Dip *. Plasti-Dip is immune to sun fading, winter months ice, cold, and also salt. It is likewise a resilient yet removable substance that will certainly peel when we determine to pay for a genuine paint task.
* We picked plasti-dip because: IT'S NOT PERMANENT. I haven't painted a car prior to as well as didn't wish to evaluate out doing a "genuine paint job" on our CLASSIC. I'm satisfied with the end result (nonetheless momentary it could be) it's offering its function well: safeguarding the CAR while we determine if we will certainly select silver in the future
Plasti Dip Car
Action 1: PRO AUTOMOBILE SET
We purchased a big pro VEHICLE kit on dipyourcar.com
The kit features the DYC DipSprayer ™ System, 4 Gallons of Rubber Dip Spray, tape, DipWasher ®, Decals, blending stick, Dip Guard, Paint Stirrer as well as Microfiber Towels.
We made use of Plasti-dip color: Light weight aluminum for the base as well as Silver Metalizer for the leading layer.
Plasti-dip is also readily available in a spray can.
Action 2: SURFACE AREA PREP
Due to the fact that our old paint had not been holding up anymore we spent a lot of time prepping our VEHICLE to ensure an even surface.
Utilizing an electric orbital sander we fined sand the rough spots then covered them with a spray on car primer that completed tiny blemishes.
We also removed the symbols, lights as well as reflectors from the body of the CAR.
Action 3: TAPE Or Otherwise?
Plasti-Dip can be easily removed areas (such as fronts lights) after you've finished applying the last coat ... Nonetheless: prepping the location decreases the trouble of getting rid of plasti-dip later on.
Using painters tape and papers, cover home windows as well as areas that you do not want to get plasti-dip on.
We covered the wheels with 40 gallon sized trash bags.
Tip 4: WASH IT FIRST!
Prior to using the plasti-dip to the AUTOMOBILE it SHOULD be tidy.
Plasti-dip is an overlay that will form a separate layer in addition to any kind of surface- including dust and dust ... so get the surface REALLY CLEAN.
After cleansing the area completely dry it with a cloth.
Step 5: PERFECT PAINT PLACE?
Locate a location that is very ventilated and from straight sunshine. We repainted the very first layer on outside in the color- it was not an optimal area- the tiniest quantity of wind created a lot of overspray accumulation. The most effective area would certainly be an open garage.
Action 6: SPRAY ON THE PLASTI-DIP
Wear a mask. It is useful if you have a person that will certainly follow you bring the paint turbine as you go. Painting in areas as you work your way around the VEHICLE. COVER WHATEVER! Also lay on the ground to get the difficult to see locations along all-time low of the CAR!
The very first layer is your bonding layer- It is crucial that this is a light cleaning (50 -60% openness). This will permit the remainder of the layers to bond and stay with the paint. Spray in a tidy sweeping activity, making certain to hold the sprayer 6-- 8 inches away from the location. Allow plasti dip to completely dry 15-30 mins between each layer.
We painted six layers of Light weight aluminum plasti-dip and three layers of Silver Metalizer.
Step 7: REMOVE THE TAPE
After the last layer is applied, instantly get rid of any tape or newspaper from the AUTOMOBILE before plasti-dip dries.
Tip 8: TREAT IT!
At this moment the plasti-dip will certainly take 4 hrs to fully treat. DON'T TOUCH IT. As well as in any way expenses, prevent any type of compound that might create damages to the location.
Step 9: ENDING UP TOUCHES
After it cured we placed the symbols, and so on back on, replaced our sill-plates, hub caps, antenna as well as seat covers and also added the C-Stripe decal.
This is a large job. Take your time and also do it well. It took three people working with it every open chance seven weeks to complete.
