got everything at dipyourcar.com

everything you need is in the kit, I bought the pro car kit with 3 gallons but it could have used 4. and everything is premixed, you can mix to get your own color though

Not my kind of color personally, but It does look different. I have been looking at dipping my car for a while, But I think for the longest time all of there stuff was a matte finish. But now I see that they have some glossifiers (clear coat) to make it shine. I'm personally not a fan of the matte look, so no that I see that I'm really thinking about doing it. I have a lot of paint chips in my front bumper and hood, so I think this would be really nice to help cover that up along with creating a one off Monte.

Just an FYI, plastidip eats away at clear coat. So if u were ever planning on doing a plasti-peel off, i wouldnt. Clear coat may be destroyed depending on how long it stays on. Looks cool though!

plasti dip don't eat clear but it will peal up clear that is peeling already. ive painted my roof and never had a single problem with plasti dip and clear only real problem is where I had clear peeling around my rear window and you can tell the dip lifted it but didn't eat it.

That looks sick! Black wheels would look sweet with that color too, maybe glossifier too?

Digging the Cudi at the end btw
