It is now the future. I ordered several more cans of white and a gallon of monster green.

To the dip pro's I have a question. The color I've dipped so far is blaze green. To get everything to match should I paint over the blaze green or peel it all off and start from clear coat up. I plan on thinning the Monster Green with Namptha and ... I forget the name. Anyways, what do you think?


Also, thinking of adding some grey/silver in. Maybe do grey race strips from front to rear? I'd love to here some opinions

You can dip over the old stuff. But if you're thinning your dip it'll take more coats to fully cover the old color. More coats will increase the chance for more texture. So it really depends. Pros and Cons. Race stripes are nice. When you get ready to peel the tape off, be sure to do it one stripe at a time. Make sure its right when you finished spraying so its still wet. If you wait too long or try to undo all your tape at once some of the dip will set and grab the tape when you pull it off. Also make sure you peel the tape off at a good 90 degree angle so it cuts cleanly.
