Just finished plasti dipping my Evo

I think it came out nice for what it is. I DO plan to get a vinyl wrap eventually, just didnt have the 2-3k for it right now and wanted something temporary.

(*Special note: I have a replacement for the rubber strip under the bumper, thats why I painted over it and it looks kinda crappy)

Its about 10-12 coats worth. Might spray some clear or pearl dip over it not sure yet.

Man no offense but the two tone doesn't look good at all. Just my opinion though.

To each their own

A+ for the effort and it looks like you did a good job. Not a fan the two tone look I hate to say. Maybe it could work wth some much more aggressive wheels.

I like it but the two tone looks weird. I don't think it's the colors, I think it's the contrast of the gloss on the factory paint vs the dip. Maybe plasti-dip the un-dipped parts in black plasti-dip?

yeah it's like a smooth rubbery looking plasticy looks, then a shiney metal with flakes look on top of that.
