plasti dipping car..

Have any of yall thought about plasti dipping your car?
Im thinking about doin it when i get my lip kit but im not sure if matte black would look good on the 7th gen..
Ive only seen one accord painted like it and n the pictures u could barely tell it was matte black..
Ive also been thought about the plasti blaze blue or a 2 tone with the 2 but not sure..
Any of you thought about this or think it would or wouldnt look good..

Thanks

The entire car...? I would not suggest using plasti dip on anything other than things like wheels...but to each his own...it's your car - if you wanna be the guinea pig for the rest of us

Honestly, that doesn't look too bad...it definitely looks better than the primed look a lot of guys like

Looks bad to me.... at least the matte black Accord does. Looks like someone took matte black primer spray paint to it. The black is so uneven.

Oh don't get me wrong, I would never do it to my car - I was just picturing it a lot worse lol I agree about the uneven black, especially in the thread link you posted - that roof looks horrible

I can kind of dig the blue Audi...the black Accord...yuck! Looks cheap as hell to me but to each his own. I've never been a fan of the "murdered out" look on cars like our Accords. In fact there are very, very few trucks/suvs that I think it looks reasonable on haha.

Ok..
I will kinda agree on the black but the blue does look at least decent?
And hav yall used the glossifier for plastidip? And will regular clear work over it to give it some shine?
Cuz if i did do it and didnt lik the look i could deal with it, take it off and waste the money or spray clear to get it to shine..
Idk tho
I lik the blue but id need black accents lik the audi has lik the grille and emblems

Yea the blue looks decent, but again that's on an Audi which is sporty enough to pull it off - Audi's come in a color similar to that blue from the factory - I don't think a 7G would pull that color off as nicely

Thats the same thing i was thinking about the audi and it might not look the same..
I want to do it but at the same time i dont cuz if i dont lik it then its a waste of money..

And i dont think it would peel the paint off but im not for sure
Id think it would peel lik it normally does
