Plasti Dip is an attractive and inexpensive solution to ugly paint. I used black dip on my stock rims and it made the difference. Only thing I can say negative about it is how much of a pain in the ass they were to keep clean. I spent a good 30 minutes alone making them look like they had just been dipped again. Oh and don't drip gas on the dip when you go to the petrol station; it'll eat through the dip so make sure you have a paper towel handy.
My favorite thing about dip is definitely how easy it is to touch up if some of it tears off. It won't, mine did because I tend to park too close to curbs
Oh and Kylar, My rims stayed dipped through the entire winter. Beginning of summer I washed them off and they looked just fine. Plasti-Dip is pretty heavy duty stuff.

nice job
im also interested in dipping mne let me know how it holds up
Plastidip will hold up over time, mine on my old silver sixer held up for a year in Texas heat before I removed it. I been thinking about 2 toning mine with the flat black roof like I had done on my old one. But matte white is sexy as it is

Swift the top white mustang with the black roof where you get the defuser and is the roof painted
iirc, swift's car started out red. The roof was dipped as well

Dipping is definitely the new thing. I like the color.

I like it myself, my self at least last till I can afford to get the car professionally sprayed. Even then I might keep the matte white. I have yet to see many white Mustangs in my area. Usually it's green, or red.

Dipyourcar.com has a new pearlizer/clear coat top coat you can put on, and it helps a lot with that tacky feel.
I'm dipping my Thunderbird once I save up for the kit. Going with a four layer black base, 2 layer black betty pearl in the pearlizer for depth, and another two layers of empty pearlizer/clear to get it to be nice and deep.
Once I buy the gun and get my car looking nice, I'll post pics and show it off. Hoping to turn it into a side business dipping other people's cars.
