simonlpearce Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 To be fair i have seen a lot worse! Think i might do something similar with the track car. Where do you get the plastidip from and how much do you need? TERKIN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get the plastidip from and how much do you need? yes its not bad,the paint before hand wasn't the best so it was worth a shot. i used plasti dip on the test panel but the whole car was actually full dip which i ment to put. i bought 15 cans from http://matt-pack.co.uk/ came in at under 100quid and i only used 9 cans to get full coverage of about 5-6coats,i added a extra can after to the front to help with stonechips. then a couple more cans experimenting with repairs etc.. but depends what car your doing? need about 12-13L if your gunning it which i may do at a later date.. something like this worked well for over spray and reactivation for repairs,obviously you cant peel a light dusting of over spray http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111501414524?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT and a decent spray wax is a must otherwise its marks so easy simonlpearce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the 35 will be too much stretch? well the 235/35 tyres i had were stretched just enough to look good but attract zero attention ive had 225 tyres on 9.5" rims with safe stretch so you should be fine. i had two complete sidewall failures so thin tyres and stretch seem dodgy to me these days.could be completely unrelated and i just got unlucky. plus nothing better than getting sideways down the m2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
