I have a 4th gen 1992 prelude coupe. Im wondering...

how many gallons should I use?

how many coats?


thanks

 

Gallons? Woah.

 

lmao. i have a paint sprayer. so i dont want to use the cans. the cans suck for big pieces.

I was thinking 2 gallons. a regular sized paint jug is 3.7 gallons. like from home depot.

 

2-3 gallons

 

yea thats what i was thinking.

im going to buy the blue plasti dip, and mix some black into it. custom color

TONS of videos about everything you want to know about plasti dip, and dipping your car.
(sorry if you already knew about this)

 

F plasti dip! get a paint job

 

^I drive a Honda and am in school.

too poor

 

you can even do a decent job with rattle cans and careful prep, thats no excuse, you are going to have to do the same prep for the plasti dip

 

go ahead and plasti dip your car. dont listen to anyone the only prep you need to do. which is what i did use prep all. Or just clean it well that doesnt leave wax on the car. you dont need to sand the car for plasti dip. Spray at least 4 coats on it. Less coats mean harder to peel off. Also dont spray paint over like a user on here did and then decided to peel it cause it will not peel off. get 3 gallons to be on the safe side. and good luck

 

check my thread about plasti dip... cost me 100 something dollars and 11 hours labor to remove it from 4 wheels.....

and we are talking about doing a whole car with it???? LOLOL

 

Then save up. Apparently your self-esteem is tied to the way others see your car. I remember when I was younger I was happy just to have four wheel that went. I guess being poor and broke mean something totally different nowadays. That would include priorities.

Nothing I have read ANYWHERE indicated any special surface prep other than a clean surface.

 

I have a 2006 Acura TL that's my main priority. I don't want to spend a lot of money on my prelude
