He justified the matte paint job because it was a matte paint job and not plastidip. Therefore, paint > plastidip regardless.

In the 1st post, plastidip = rice. I contend that it isn't in all cases. I also said stupid mods if done the wrong way = rice. Regardless.

Point out where anyone said plastidip CAN'T be ricey? I didn't.

Anything with hello kitty is pure rice.

nailed it on the head. I wanna ask u guys this- have u ever considered dip as a protectant? The paint underneath is protected from direct sunlight / water. Now when it's time to move on from the car, which will have the more preserved paint job, the one covered in dip by us "cheap ricers" or the one that's been exposed to the elements? Good condition OEM resells at the highest value, which in turn can make the dip a smart investment. Aftermarket paint is not OEM which can devalue the car. Last question, if plasti-dip made a clear, non-matte protectant spray with the intention of it being a spray-on clear bra that can be pealed off, would u use it?

well said^^^^
paint is ALWAYS > plastidip. (really the whole point here but whatever)

both rx7's including the oh so sneaky matte one, were NOT rice.
once we were done playing catch you in a lie, the dipped rx7 imo chose a ricer approach to a paint job implementing rubber paint. I said the dip ruined it for me. I did not call it rice. to others our aftermarket front ends and jdm parts could be considered "rice or ricey"

the m3 was ricey imo due to a great looking car being (reversibly) ruined by dip.
the fake testarossa is not rice. it doesnt exist in that condition.
the smart car is also not rice. opinion based,it is simply obnoxious.
the g37 is fukin awful. no questions asked. rice would be a compliment.

What are you doing out of the political section, are you drunk?

my guy who works at a body shop and painted my roof, dipped his car and ruined his paint underneath when he tried to remove it later. The dip bonded to the paint in such a way that the paint underneath was stripped off when the dip layer was removed. Dip is not a preservative.

A god awful shitty paint job not > plastidip. As plastidip is reversible while paint you're stuck with unless you spend thousands to repaint it right

this thread wasnt too bad at first but after reading the last few pages it gave me cancer

a shittty paint job = plastidip.

spending thousands is what no dipper wants to do, hence dip.

for some odd reason i feel me and jeff actually are agreeing on this but he's not quite understanding me correctly lolol...

You know damn well he never once said paint can't be rice. He even posted a pictured of riced paint on a vette before your ignorant comment. Anything can be rice if done halfass and cheaply. Stop putting words into other peoples mouths constantly. If you cannot reply to the ACTUAL points being made, dont bother replying at all.

No matter how well plastipid is done, it will NEVER look as good as a proper paint job or be as long lasting. That is a basic undeniable fact.

Crap paint job = crap paint job

Crap plastidip = crap plastidip.


both can be done right w/o being ricey

thank. You.

Stop trying to enter a debate you're not in. You will NEVER have a debate. It's just YOU wanting to attempt to make someone else look bad. Stop entering a discussion you're not a part of. Are you his mother?

Well it's GOOD THING NO ONE MADE THOSE CLAIMS.

Look who is putting words into mouths??? Exactly WHERE did anyone state that paint = dip?? I only contended that dip can be done in a non ricey way. You can take more stylish chances with dip as it's temporary and I think it's been shown that it can be done decently and not ricey.

correct! why then would you try to base your argument off of the design painted on the cars!?!?!? "hello kitty?" when did that become the issue?? that was not a "crap" paint job. in fact, out of all the cars posted that paint job was the best!!!
it was a "crap" choice.not a crap paint job.
