Plastic dip is cheaper... easyer to apply easy to revert to normal and it doesent make bubbles like wrap

To dip an entire car with all the necessary coats? Please tell me how much one charges for a full plastidip job... because I bet wrapping can be done in the same ball park if not better with only the best material... Wraps are easy to apply, but it is a skill... and bubbles are from cheap shitty materials and poor applicators... human error and budget runners buy cheap chinese vinyl... if you change the colour of a car you do it right first time... no bubbles, efficiently and quality to not only look good but protect your original paint. (You do not take your car to just anybody... especially the cheapest, Quality Quality Quality... every time!

I do agree that plastidip is easier to remove (but that is it) and that a customer should never remove a wrap, it's another process all together, which is a service offered.

About R6500 to dip a whole car, another good thing about plastidip is things can be touched up where a wrap you have to replace the whole panels wrap.

Front bumper is the Motorsport bumper - direct bolt - on. Rear is M5. Next on the list is the replacement of the standard battery box with the M5 battery box. This is to free up space for the M5 right rear exhaust boxes.

wow, that must have cost a pretty penny.
I've thrown more dough in - M5 battery box - right side M5 boxes. Each tailpiece has its own exhaust silencer box, as per M5. OEM Mudflaps have been fitted to front and rear.

I will start a new thread with details and spend on mods, upgrades and maintenance to this car.
