And yes, they have a spray bottle called glossifier that sprays on top of plastidip to take it from matte to glossy. They also have a metalizer to add mica to the look

The website I posted above has full car kits with a nice car sprayer for only $70. The kit comes with everything you need to spray a whole car, plus they have tutorial video on how to do each part. Make sure you know how to spray first, they have a car in their gallery that was sprayed white by it's owner and it's sloppy and looks terrible. You can see all the lines

your talking about this kit right?

There's a C-clip on the end of the half shaft. The opening of the clip should be on top. The half shaft will slide in when the grooves are lined up and the C-clip opening is on top. IIRC, there is one groove that is wider than all the others, line that one up with the inside and it will slide it. You'll have to give it a good shove to get it to lock in past that stubborn C-clip but it will go. Best of luck.

Yeah Rico, but I'm going to hush up now, I don't want to rant about them too much since they aren't an authorized vendor. Just informing people that they have available sets to do whole cars

ordered white plastidip paint.
the clearcoat and paint on the p5 has gotten super terrible and its beyond repair, so i pulled the plug and im gonna paint the car matte white and gloss it afterwards!
hopefully it'll look good for what it is.
seen lots of white dipped cars at events and i am pretty impressed.

i hope you make a new thread for this project!

Wait. What did I say? Don't leave, I will change. LOL!
I would buy one. In about 6-8 years when the price would be low enough for me to be able to afford the car payment.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^ lol. I would drive the crap out of a diesel P5. Unfortunately diesel, a by-product of gas, is more expensive around hre
