what do you guys think is a good color for the entire car? white?

They have some polish to go over the black to make it glossy.
Wonder how that would look

hell for 250 I think it would be worth it

Make sure you put on a light base coat then 3+ coats onto of that.

It peels when you get tires put on, so I usually re-apply every time I change tires.

Stuff is awesome.
Awesome stuff! I would spray my bike matte white with this stuff. How about Really hot conditions and wet conditions?

Plasti dip only comes in Black, White and Red.

You can paint over it but make sure to cover anything you don't want painted in the background.

Those colors only come in the gallon cans, not in the spray paint cans. But hey, if you're more than just a regular DIY-er, those are perfect.

I'm curious how would white or orange look... Might be my cheap alternative to the vinyl. Getting tired of Jerez Black. I did the grille and on my s5 did the wheels... Never thought of doing the whole car.

Go for it!!

I thought as a really funny joke, I would do wifey's entire car without her knowing and video the reaction when she walked out to the driveway the next morning. Could be an epic prank. After all, the stuff just peels right off right?

Yeah but it gets tedious & tiring after a while of peeling if you plastidipped the whole car.

Yeah... but still cheaper then Vinyl... and it's not that harder then peeling off vinyl... if you have at least 4 coats on.
