Willylump Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh snap.... A while back I was asking about dipping my Legacy Gt Matte white. Well... I ended up doing it and it looks freakin sweet!!! Will still be doing a black roof. Scope it out. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/willylumplump15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0343_zpsd8fyifsg.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/willylumplump15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0346_zpsoangf3jo.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/willylumplump15/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0352_zps73d7xhqs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Trendz Inc. Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 looks awesome, back to the drawing board for me. Was going to do the matte clear coat from dyc. about how long did this all take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Matte white that is a clean exterior nice work man! Matte black or navy blue would be killer. How did you prep the base paint job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpalumbo159 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Where did you get the paint and how much did you end up using? How many coats did you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Catalyst. Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 you'll regret that in a few weeks...lolI was thinking the same. Let us know how the matte white cleans up after being driven for a while.

HDZ32 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looks SO SICK man. The white and black contrast looks mean as hell. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Makes sense the matte would hold dirt? Here in NoVA the DYC wave is going strong everybody from BMW, to Ferrari to Civics are dipped. I would only ever go matte black i love that look but i did see a sky blue dipped M3 in G-Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDZ32 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The matte really isnt too bad for dirt and stuff, it washes off fairly easily and as long as the job is done right its plenty durable so you don't ever have to worry about it peeling off. You just rinse it off and all the dirt goes away and there's no polishing, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ask http://legacygt.com/forums/member.php?u=37894 and see what happened to his Legacy after dipping it from DGM to matte white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks to this thread, I've caught a new mania: Dipping. I looked at DYC and now I wanna dip my LGT from SWP to Bluminum. And maybe some gold wheels. But at what -- $400, $500 a pop, I could afford to change my car color every year or so! How long does a good coat of dip last?

If you do it right and spray it on well, lots and lots of coats, it'll last a long time. A buddy had his on the car for a long time and when he peeled it off it still looked good.

Rhitter Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I did my wheels. It was terrible to get off. I left pieces on for months. Goo gone barely made a dent. That said I just did them again and am happy with the result. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willylump Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Dang. Got a decent turnout on this. So the video should be coming very soon. This will have technique and what not in there. I used the DYC sprayer and the texture turned out real good. I've dipped 3 cars so far and made big improvements each time. As far as peeling... The quality of the peel is equally proportional to the amount of coats you throw down. I used 3 gallons on my legacy and I think that should be a minimum or any mid size sedan.

0Subie9 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 If you buy the right cleaning chemicals you won't have any issues keeping it clean. Especially if it was painted correctly. I detail cars as a side business and I've had about 10 cars this past summer that were dipped. You need a foam gun with good soap and you need a pressure washer. Good job man car looks great.

FknBoss Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The white turns yellowish in a few months depending on the elements you drive in. Why not just wrap the car yourself. It'd probably be around the same price. It'll last longer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a shop that just plain wouldnt do white because of the troubles they've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
