Thank you to the few that are supportive the rest sound like a bunch of haters. . . I went to the local car spot last night and EVERYONE thought it was paint. . . Its easy to do, inexpensive, I can change the color whenever I want, comes off and preserves my oem paint and that sounds like a bad idea to all of you?!

It's your car! you need not worry about what others think of it. If it's something you like, then be proud of the work & effort you put into it.
I'm not a fan of the color from the pic but I'm openminded to the fact that It could look a lot different up close.
Good on you for trying something different.

I am one who thinks plasti dip is bad and good at the same time. i think its good for the same reasons you gave but I had some bad experience where since I sprayed it thin, it was super hard to take off. In fact, after a year and a half, it hardened and i tried to use goo gone on it. apparently I put too much goo gone and the plasti dip became a huge mess. When I was taking plasti dip off my wheels, there were curves where I sprayed a thin layer of dip and again it was hard to take off but putting a very small amount of goo gone on it and letting it sit over night made the plasti dip soft enough to take off and not messy.
you may be thinking its my fault for putting on a thin layer of dip but the more thicker the layers of plasti dip you put on the rougher it gets. I did use a rattle can instead of a gun but still.
If I would ever put plasti dip on the exterior of my car, i would only keep it on for about 6 months max. I live in NJ and theres freezing cold and really hot temps here so it could be the weather messing with the properties of the dip.
Would I ever dip my car though is the question? Yes I would. to matte black, matte orange, or matte purple. Those are the only colors i really like which are matte on the G37. I personally wouldn't go for the color you did but its your car and you can do what people like. Other people's opinions dont matter.
For those who are really against plasti dip. I agree it isn't real paint but it gives a REVERSIBLE finish which is why people spray it on. No one puts plasti dip on their car for a permanent finish. If the OP painted his car this color and did not like it, he would be out a lot more money than what he paid to get this done.
@egmmbah, I would either take the chrome off your front emblem so it matches the chrome on you ipl fog trim, or what I did, was make the ipl fog trim matte black which would give your car a much more aggressive look.

Lmao.. oatmeal.. This was entertaining. Nevertheless quality looks good. would have to see it in person.
I agree with making the grill another color.. or else it does look like lazy man spray it all syndrome.. might as well do the windshield.

Not a huge fan of the color, but to each his own.
As for the haters, can't please everyone bro. No matter what mod you do, there is bound to be haters. I like the idea of being able to change the finish on a whim. Nice work and enjoy! Spray looks pro in the pics!
