Plastidipped - VW Beetle
#1
Hello all, I thought I would make a post showing you a car I just got dont plastidipping. The car is a 2000 VW Beetle TDI, its the car I drive around for work. My company bought this car because I'm on the road a lot and its cheap to drive, however the outside of the car was in really bad shape. I suggested that we plastidip it since its a cheap way to refresh the outside of the car. Here are some pictures of the process

A few shots of the car before:

Then we started to mix and add the brown flake

And the car pretty much finished.

We are pretty happy with the outcome, it looks a whole lot better then it did. It pretty much covered the old decals the previous owner had, you can only see a faint raised outline from the old decals. If I was to do it again I would use an extra gallon of black to cover the car a bit more, there are a few spots that you can see a little bit of green under from the black being a bit thin. Thanks Ken for helping me out to get everything that we needed for the project
