Saw this on the frost site whilst ordering something else the other day. I know the Vinyl Wrapping question comes up regularly and just wondered if this could be a cheap alternative?

Someone on a mini forum I use used this but straight over primer, due to this it didn't peal off like it should and was a nightmare to deal with, had he of applied it over a top coat it would have been a great product from the replies of others.

Great tip only use over a top coat

Search for Plasti-dip, It's pretty much a paint-on semi-temporary coating. thin it's pretty tough, but you can peel it off from an edge. I guess it has pros and cons compared to paint and vinyl.

I've known about Plasti Dip for a while but wasn't aware that Frost now did their own pre thinned and some very funky colours, just adding it up even with buying the application kit and a gallon of base and a gallon of topcoat I reckon you should be all in at less than £300! Even if it only lasts a year I didn't think it was that bad and you still have the compressor and gun for a colour change in year 2 so the second re-colour only costs about £130.

I suppose it depends on if your a fan of matt finishes as I don't think Frost yet do the full range that places like Dipyourcar.com do with gloss topcoats and metallic finishes.

Loads if video's on youtube doing this. Certainly looks good out of the gun.

e.g.

I've sprayed a couple of bonnets and pop-up light covers with mat black Plastidip. I treated it as a temporary finish on my track car but it's been on there for over a year and just needs an occasional blast with the power washer. I've found using a cloth can leave some fibres stuck behind.

There are various finishes and a glossifier for Plastidip for a less mat finish.

I'm dissapointed with myself, as I really quite like what they did to that M3.
