That's a custom 4-stage chameleon. Will shift colors depending on the angle you look at it, this angle just happened to catch 3/4 colors. The last color is red and yes it is plasti dipped.

You'll be doing weekly touch ups from chips and scratches but if it isnt clean all you're going to be doing is sealing in the dirt.

Im not against plasti-dip by any means but a whole car job is just insane. There's a reason why the norm is paint and clear coats. Man i can just see the dirt collecting in the nooks and crannies and before too long its going to look so horrible. Ive done wheels before and it was a pain enough to keep black plastidip looking clean.

To each his own i guess
Yes, lets keep to the "norm" of plane jane, everyone has done this before instead of of some originality and the less common. You have fun with that and I'll keep doing what I do, "norm".

Looks clean Jesse, I really like that look!! Help me explain to these folks that are so closed off to dip, that with a once a week plastiwash wash it looks clean all the time and the durability, unless someone intentionally tries to peal it off, is the same as the single coat of garbage stock infiniti paint!!

Please refrain from name calling, if people have questions about the product and it's durability that's common w/ these type threads, thanks
If they start by calling you out by all means let us know.

not my style, but at least you can change it up whenever you want.

Going to try any other colors?

Yea I'm just not to sure which yet. I'm kind of leaning towards a pearl white with either a blue or purple flake. I want to wait 6 months or so though to see how well it holds up to TX heat and sun.
