Mixing Dark And Light Plasti Dips Made This Surprisingly Cool Color
Mixing Dark And Light Plasti Dips Made This Surprisingly Cool Color-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:37

I’m pretty sure throwing a gallon of black paint into a gallon of yellow paint would just leave you with... two gallons of black. Not so with this removable coating stuff though– it turned into a pretty fantastic copper/brown/dirty gold I’ve never seen before.

Some of you regular readers may be aware of my irrational fascination with Plasti Dip, the sprayable removable rubberizing surface-coater that’s become fashionable as a paint-alternative to cover car parts with in the last couple years.

Since I also love cars-as-art, I’m always excited to see how experiments with Plasti Dip and other similar substances come out. In this video here, you can see what happens when you dump a gallon of black into a gallon of pearl top coat colorized with “Wu Tang Yellow.” The whole mixture was sprayed over six-layers of a black coating on this Evo X, and the result looks like an ancient piece of diving equipment. Or decorative trim in a bank in the 1920's. If my imagination isn’t connecting with yours, just look at it:

One of my favorite Plasti Dip experiments so far. I think it’d look especially killer with orange trim and/or stickers. Who’s into it?

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
