I reckon with the delicateness of a VX paintwork, plastidip will still tear off chunks of paint... imho of course, but don't just run in expecting it to be a wonder solution.

if it peels off easy after it has has a tare in it or something simular, then how long do you think it would last on the front of our cars? you would have to re-do the front every jorney

Im tempted to have ago. might just do a section of the front bumper before doing the whole car, It will look a bit odd but better than doing the whole thing and having to peel it all off

This sounds like a great idea! i have just purchased 4 cans to do my tubby wheels, has anyone done there wheels yet? i was wondering weather to do the whole wheel or just the front area, what do you guys think? cheers

Whole wheel definetly. Two tone is not a good look and the less edges you have on the paint the better, you are likely to start lifting it up when you reach through the spokes to clean otherwise.

Not to everyones taste im sure, but thought i would try out a bit of dipping its come out really well! bit bright mind. im going to try a new colour every few months before i decide what colour to powder coat them. Cheers for the idea!

I think that looks great. it realky does peel off easy when you want it off. mines been jetwashed on the v and hasnt budged though so its still durable in use. orange on black looks good espescially with vent detail too.

cheers still not sure myself haha, i will put a better picture up as that one off my phone isnt the best quality. Its good to know it comes off easily when i want it too, think i will do the badges at the weekend

Looks a bit porsche-esque to me. But each to thier own

Good effort, I think you just about pull off the orange on a black car. Might be better with black center caps and a few other little splashes of colour around the car to tie it all in.

do the wing mirrors as well, maybe do the engine covers as well. looks good though
