If it were all ready pulled I would do it. Heck I almost did mine from gold to teal, but I just didn't want to pull everything, and since my next setup in this car will probably be a Jz swap, ls motor, or twins on the vq, I will do more when I pull the motor.

Car is going to be painted tonight. Will post pics when done. I know most here hate plasti dip, but I will say just a few things. I don't know what color I want to pint my car yet. Rather than paint it straight up I want to test out a few colors. It's also an easy do it yourself, and its come a long long way from just matte black and cans. I will be doing a 4 stage job... Satin coco brown with a satin ghost gold pear top coat. I will post pics when done.

Don't worry about the plastidip haters, you know why you're using plastidip so you can figure out which color you'll decide to go with. I'm actually interested in the setup you're going to be using to paint the car (like the paint gun you're using and how many coats), since I might do the same on my car at some point, see if you can post some pictures of your painting process.

Full Dark brown... I called it Coco.

Gold Ghost pearl on it. FINISHED UP.

In the light it looks like a cup of hot Coco, then when the sun hits it it goes gold. Honestly since it was my first real paint job there are inconsistancies in the ghost pearl, but I think it came out great!!!

It was a different color than what I had though, partly due to a mistake on my part..... But It came out well when I get the teal wheels it will pop. Then later I will dip it white then sunset orange..... I have plans haha... But it looks great in person. Like I said its not perfect I don't profess it to be.

You use a spray wax, gives it a nice pop, and actually makes the dip more durable. You don't need to was it and never need to dry it. It's actually awesome stuff.
