Here is an experiment in terror lol This how I received the car  Looks good what you can't see is all the peeling clear coat. Painted with black Plastidip  Since the car won't fit in the shed it was painted outside . The product sprays well and self levels too |

You can get it here www.dipyourcar.com/home.php Performix makes it . This paint runs around $75 a gallon thinned takes 2 to 4 gallons to paint a car. You can save money by getting it on Ebay and thinning it yourself . The Fiero took 2 gallons at a cost of $93 for paint and thinner saved more than $50 by thinning my own . This is the same product that us used to plastic coat tool handles and is designed to be removable . 5 coats are needed to provide the thickness necessary for it to be easily peeled off . It has a claimed 3 to 5 year lifespan when you get tired of it peel it off. YouTube has many tutorials on how to use and thin it out . Another use is to protect the paint during storage coat the car in the fall peel it off in the spring this prevents "shop rash". |

This plasti dip is quite the new craze. I've heard only great things about it. I've plasti dipped a bunch of small parts on my bike (parts that usually paint flakes off of) and it's holding up great! Guys have even plasti dipped oil lines, and rocker covers, and push rod tubes and it even holds up to the heat.
Best part is, if you don't like it, just peel it off! Just don't spill gas on it!!!

Sounds like a pretty good technology going on this product. They have tints in colors of Red, Blue, Black, Yellow and White. If you were to spend a little extra on product to practice color blending you could make quite a few colors mixing the right tints.
