I heart plastidip. and @ItalianJobSeattle, if you actually plastidipped your entire mini that's pretty damn impressive. I wonder how many cans that took lol. But on some real sh*t plastidip is great for the price.

Thanks guys!
10 cans and a whole day! Most of the time was spent between the wrapping and the stripe-ing

Nice, I plastidipped my hood, hatch, door handles and gas cap on Friday. It took about 3 cans with about 3 coats total. I have a 06 dark silver MCS with black roof, black mirrors and black steelies so it doesnt look that bad. I did the hood and hatch to cover up all the paint chips. I want to do the chrome trim piece that wraps around the entire car and the chrome around the tail lights next.

+1 please let us know how this holds up.

I want to plastidip my Lotus' wheels to see if I like them black before I spend the money to get them powdercoated.
