Reminds me of painting tetraseal on the sills of the shit boxes I had when I first started driving. At least your not having to paint over rust. Think a curve down at the front also would have made it look a bit like an eighties body kit. At least if you have second thoughts, it will peel off easy enough.
Ace job for some lockdown DIY. I would maybe add a motorsport decal or something in white lettering near the rear just so it can be seen as a skirt and it doesnt make the sill look higher than it is. How did the rear bumper look in the end?
Hi, great video !! Do you have any picture of your wheels with calipers painted blue? does the blue caliper look good on background? because the wheel have too much ray. Thank you and regards from Argentina!
Greatings from Italy and congratulations for your helpful videos!! I'd ask you if this full dip was gloss or not. Because it seems to be more gloss than the windows trim you've done. Thank you
Hi there 👍 It’s actually matt black, although the finish I got on both skirts was much smoother than with PlastiDip & I noticed it doesn’t have a rubbery feel like you get with PlastiDip. I think this smooth & even finish gives it more of a ‘satin’ look, but up close it really is matt black. I think I prefer using Full Dip over PlastiDip after this 👍
I think vinyl wrap looks better, however you do need a decent quality wrap and a heat gun to apply it successfully, now you have back side skirts I think you need to upgrade those rims too!
You’re right, my spraying technique is probably quite amateur but I’m improving all the time. This job was a little different because I noticed immediately that these Full Dip cans layed down much thicker & darker than the PlastiDip I had used before.
Does the spray withstand a automatic car wash with the nylon type roller mops ? Don’t want to try this and then next week have to peel it off after half of it gets demolished in a car wash !?!?
Hi Following your vids as I have a F10. One modification I want to do to mine is changing the colour of the headlining and pillar covers from light brown to black. Can you do that project and make a video of how you did it? Only way I can think of doing it is by buying a replacement set which on fleabay is around the 800 mark. Keep up the good work!
If you’re talking about the main fabric parts of the headlining then you could dye it black with some fabric dye. I’ve actually used some spray-on black fabric dye for a similar job before, although it may be better to apply it carefully and slowly with a brush for your job. You do not want to get drips or accidents on the interior.
@@Nut_Job. I personally think all interiors should have black fabric headlinings as they look much better than the light brown colour they tend to use. Would you consider changing the colour of yours?
It shouldn’t do. PlastiDip and other rubber ‘paints’ are made to be peel-able, but they don’t start peeling easily - you have to really rub on the edges to get it started. I had a PlastiDip panel on the rear of a Mitsubishi car for over a year with no problems at all. People paint whole cars in this stuff and usually expect 3+ years from it.
Nah dont like it, excellent execution though. To me It kinda looks like the cars had the cills welded and the garage painted the welding black as they do
@@Nut_Job. I added some little universal rear corner splitters to mine last week, £10 off Ebay looks pretty good I think sprayed them matt black so they look stock.
I love your videos mate and your knowledge about cars keep up the good work thanks

Great to watch your videos.
Looks Good
Now need the Msport decals

Good work. Keep it up. You should do a video of you detailing the car.

good jop 👍 i will make it in my m sport sideskirts 😉
where are you ? i hope that you are ok :) !
Looks ok to me
With it being an x police car have you ever tried to find any history on it such as any pics with it be all dressed up as a police car

I like colour coded skirts
How resistant to stone chips, road debris is plasti -Dip would it need a top coat of clear lacquer for durabilty ?
No, it’s very resilient. There are special glossy or satin top coats which you can apply, but they aren’t absolutely necessary
Have you ever tried to use longer strokes when spray painting?
You’re right, my spraying technique is probably quite amateur but I’m improving all the time. This job was a little different because I noticed immediately that these Full Dip cans layed down much thicker & darker than the PlastiDip I had used before.
Nut Job tx!

Well, I don’t actually use those type of car washes so I’m not certain. I do know it’ll hold up to a decent pressure washer up close though 👍
Thank you .
side skirts are done so now you can add PERFORMANCE STICKER on it
Has the thought of plasti dipping your wheels come around?
I’ve actually got some normal paint for the wheels, but yes absolutely you could PlastiDip too 👍
Looks good. Is there any job that you won’t have a go at 👍🤗
I guess we’ll just have to wait six months or so to find out how well it lasts. Just needs the M performance decals/stickers now.
I’m reluctant to do that tbh.
Lovely Jubbly, I think it looks lower.

Nut Job thanks for that I've bought 2 cans of it on the strength of your recommendation, I'll let you know how I get on.
Give it another week I'll be expecting some boy racer stripes on this bad boy.
🤔
Only kidding. I don’t think there’s anything else I feel like doing on the exterior just now
Looks very nice pal, but you need some new wheels to be honest
Not so great idea, peel it off :D This makes car visually higher and also black sideskirts was a thing with low spec e36s.
Its personal taste, i actually think that looks really good, looks like a sporty side skirt and gives contrast.
Full Dip! Now what was her name...?? 🤔🤔
🤣

It’s about time you shaved your chin and head..
I know... I’m starting to feel like I need a football called Wilson
Just promise me you wont add those wanky coloured msport stripes to your grille slats 😂😂😂
Nope, they’re shit 😂
I’m just trying to add some shapes and colour contrasts around the car so it doesn’t just look like a bright white wardrobe on wheels 👍
