anyone got any pics of plastidipified parts?

The OP picked it up from a place called Coswell in Hoppers Crossing (VIC). $24.95 a can.

Does anyone know if you can buy gloss black straight up of do you still have to buy matt and glossify it?

Nah there isn't. They probably figure you can just use a glossifier as well to get a glossy look. Works out the same price if you do a couple of coats less of the colour and replace it with a couple of coats of gloss. Only been able to find gloss on ebay in Aus and the seller's a rip off and isn't a fan of bulk buying

I Just want to colour code a few thing but if it turns out ok I might do my rims too.

[Never had any say Panda]

If anyone was willing to pick me up a dozen tins for 25 a piece I'd pay freight up to toowoomba..

I have decided that plasti dipping a few fellas cars at work for fun while they are away would be amusing..

Hey Sharp Dressed Panda, give the guys at Caswell an email and let them know you want 12 and ask whats the best deal they can do. They'll do you a good deal! Also make sure you indicate whether you want the aerosol or the tins because there is a difference. You'll need a spray gun and compressor to use the tins, but it is cheaper

[Never had any say Panda]

Probably be chasing the aerosol.. For simplicity reasons..

So before I embark on this journey can anyone confirm how easy this sh*t is to peel off?

Pretty sure that the above sells on ebay for $32.99 a can +postage....

[Bellato]

Yea it does but why pay $33 a can plus postage when you can get it for $25 plus postage? And I emailed the ebay guy and were very reluctant to give an bulk purchase discounts. Whereas Caswell in Melbourne were more than happy to do so!!

On a side not I was having a think about this stuff. This probably wouldn't be bad to spray the rear guards with if you have intentions to do big burnouts ie powercruise, drags etc. Avoids having to clean off rubber and tar off the guards later on (or have to repaint guards from stone chips etc), just peel it off and through it in the bin. Probably one can should last you half a dozen uses so cost is nothing really
