Plasti dip color for Fox Body

[Brandon302]

I am trying to figure out what would be a good color for a Fox body. I have currently found a few that may look nice but would like other opinions.

Also I like the chameleon pearls like this one, I think it is subtle but has a nice touch to it. http://www.kandypearls.com/products/mardi-gras-kameleon-pearl

Looks good. I like the blue

What about a wrap? More durable, lots of colors.

I bought my fox body new in 1982-the last American car purchased by me until the 2012 Boss.

The horsepower wars were just beginning again and the CA CHP was using these for pursuit vehicles.

That is very true, however a custom wrap done professionally would be maybe 2k and the dipping would cost about 300-450.

I would definitely watch some of the YouTube videos before you write off a wrap. Doesn't look that hard and might be less of a headache than trying to get an even coat over such large surfaces. A wrap is on my list to try if I end up buying a track beater.

I've pretty much written it off, I have watched the videos and I don't want to mess with placing it and pulling it up a bunch. I have worked with plastidip and it is really simple.

The guy with the blue Mustang in your fourth link is pretty active on another Mustang forum I frequent, and I have always thought his car looked awesome dipped.

Since you are dipping it are you going to do some graphics? You could have some fun with that.

The only thing I have thought about doing is getting a vinyl logo made and then spraying over it so it looks embossed.

Began the prep on the car last night and will continue today, might actually get to put a few coats of the black base coat on before tomorrow.

Use their new glow in the dark

I am going with the pearl pigments from http://www.pearlsandpigments.com since those are what dipyourcar.com sells.

Very nice! Did you spray it on? I didn't think Plasti-dip could be sprayed.

 

[Brandon302]

We did, we used a 120 dollar Wagner power painter with a hopper. Its now sprayable, dipyourcar I guess has partnered with Plasti Dip to make a prethinned and tinted mix. On top of the matte black we bought we got pearl pigment powder to mix with a matte clear to make the blue.
