I can only imagine how hard it was for Fonzie to Intentionally spray so badly.... Nice to know he's that dedicated and able to over ride all his skills to do it. Thanks Fonzie!!!
Even trying to spray it badly he was still going through the motions right. It’s hard to break good habits but I bet the bottom 25% do panel by panel and not keeping the flow going when they spray it on. A lot of first timers would go fast and slow and hold the gun at the wrong angle so you would have some sags and runs in it. But this is a good comparison and hopefully it will help educate folks on how to properly use the product.
It easily looked like he had the spray gun turned way way down to accomplish that. But also Its Odd how the blue came through so bright on the lightly misted side. Makes me think I'd HAVE to use the pear clear coat at least one coat .
Maybe you can invite someone from the street with no experience. It looks too easy to apply perfect when you doing it. I'm curious how an apsolute beginner can handle the equipment with instructions.
True! This video is still a great way to show the do's and dont's . The difference in the end result was VERY noticeable, even though he did the sweeps at very similar speeds (i.e. the only major changes in technique that I noticed were the ones he stated: 1. spraying too far away 2. not enough product spray and 3. not enough overlap... all of these directly correlate to not getting a wet layer... I did notice he seems to have intentionally butchered the back of the passenger side to make sure he had a good "bad example" area to point to, but it doesn't seem like he needed to emphasize it). On the driver's side the application was very visibly WET and the passenger's side was noticeable muuuuch thinner (many spots didn't even completely cover in blue and you could still see the gray!) I've never tried this myself, but after seeing this video it's very clear that you want to err on the side of "too heavy" vs too thin: a few runs look way better than a coarse spotted finish. I imagine making a dry application will also make it HELL to remove it easily (as advertised), which is why I presume he coated the entire thing in gray beforehand. I'm very glad that this business owner is very upfront and clear about how his product is designed to work, and focusing his response to the "bad reviews" as being yet another teaching opportunity (i.e. looking into what people are still doing wrong in order to further clarify the instructions) , rather than taking the more popular route of "you probably didn't even read the instructions, get lost dummy".
I honestly hope this becomes your most popular video on the channel. Out of all of them, this is the best on how to do it right. I painted my car matte black twice, first time it turned out looking like the passenger side. Only on the hood and trunk. I hated. But I knew it was just me being a noob at painting and not doing it right. Left it for a while, also found it impossible to peel cause I did it too lite. Second time around, I did it right. Paint gun, gallons, took my time and made it wet and proper. Turned out amazing. Plasti dip is amazing if you use it right and take your time.
So, this presents an interesting question. Can you save the job on the right side of the car, or do you have to peel and respray the whole thing for an even look?
Antimation Studios I used uneven spray for my cars mudguards. It actually by fluke worked in my favour. The colouring is even, but the texturing is sorta gritty and gives it a sporty look and feel.
If you want texture I'd still do a proper 2-3 coats and then you can lay the final coat from further away to add a little texture. If you do them for all the coats it'll be harder to remove and the coverage will be bad
This is probably the greatest example of what to do and what not to do, i am planning on ordering a kit to do my truck soon and this video has explained so much, keep the videos comin👍
So my first job I sprayed my car black and blue last year. It was pretty much in between the good dip and the bad. Not awful. Not great. I do think I sprayed from too far away. I'm re doing my job over the long weekend with the new aluminum dyc kit. I really appreciate you guys putting out these videos. Helps a lot.
yes the roof, what is the problem with the damn roof? I can't tell exactly but suspect it's just you're too far away and often throwing product at an angle. I need to watch more closely next time and see exactly when it happened but it has to be distance i figure since texture is product that dried before it hit the surface, no?
I did the too far method on purpose on my truck hood. The black came out like bed liner. I did have to add another smooth coat to keep the rough texture from coming up. It gave it a more aggressive off road look but still be able to revert back.
This was one of your best videos. Not only does this explain how to apply the dip properly but this also shows why using dip cans are very situational. All the issues on the left are extremely hard to avoid with using cans on anything other than wheels emblems and trim parts. You simply cannot get good consistent coverage with a can. Im surprised you didn't mention anything about cans.
love everything you guys do! is there any chance you can make a video showing how to possibly fix or improve the poorly done side(besides peeling and doing over)? keep up the great work josh
You guys might want to add Tutorial - Good and Bad Examples or something to the title, I don't think anyone is going to search for dipped cars look like crap. And it really wouldn't get you the views I feel this video deserves. Very well done.
I actually did this experiment on my bumper with cans while putting on "a clear plastidip bra" definitely need those wet coats. Did the entire bumper with clear cans and it looks like vinyl. So cool!
Thanks for doing this video Fonzarelli😉 It just proves to me what a badass I am at spray painting my 07 Xterra with rattle cans 5 years ago. I still have people asking about my Matte Black spray can paint job. Most recently 2 old guys driving brand new Silverado pickups asked me questions just last week (1 guy at a Quiktrip and the other guy chased me down a street to tell me how much he likes my paint,lol)😬
And that basically sums up exactly what I've been doing wrong with my can efforts hah. That said, it's can anyway. Too cold, not wet/ spraying too dry, not overlapping, etc. Very handy
panel by panel is the absolute best way for any beginner to get perfect results the first time if you dont have a garage or are scared to mess up. its easier to fix a panel and correct your mistakes so it dosen't happen on the next panel
people ALWAYS blame the product in the can 1st. couldnt possibly be their expert hands hands screwing up, could it? 🙃😊🙃 THANK YOU for standing up for your product sir!
Good example the second one that was done ... Some people spray it from a bit far away distance so the mist stays there better to take time and do it correctly
One of the best dip VS paint things is if/when you mess up... peel it and try again 😊 theres always those rogue bugs that have to land in your finished product and drag a line through the whole fender 🤦♂️
I'm a first time Dipper and noticed my mistake on my first project it's best to go hard core on the dip to get the best result when using rattle cans specially on 40 degree weather had to remove my plasti dip it looked like crap great video thanks bud👍
I just dipped a wing for my car in black using a few spray cans. It looks like the bumpy grainy side. Is there anyway I can just spray a wet coat on it to even it out? Or lightly sand it first?
Did this on one of my first sprays, it was a trunk for a motorcycle. Basically felt and looked like a big toolbox, all bumply and cloudy. At least it's easy to peel off and do it right. Some lessons you have to learn the hard way though, haven't done it wrong since
I actually like the brighter, more pastel color of the improper spray, the texture not so much, but even improperly sprayed the color still looks amazing.
It's art and skill and work , fonzi is a good teacher , salesman , artist , and painter , I bought the advanced sprayer , ,prepping like he says is key , patience , and technique on holding sprayer , speed angle , I hope I can do it right , 87 coupe mustang and 92 fox hatchback , two face on one , bright yellow on other ,
So accordig to this, i did my wheels wrong roughly 4 years ago. Either way, i liked the rougher texture on the entire thing, and its at least an even coating and constant texture feeling.
On top of the other issues caused by improper technique... the color just looks *off* on the badly-sprayed side. Almost like someone mixed in a moldy grayish-green pigment before applying it.
Besides the texture and quality, the difference in the hue of the color is suprisingly drastic. Now I know when I look at search images why the same color will look so different from car to car.
I'm used to spraying cars with regular car paint. It's easy to go too fast, too much distance, and mostly first time sprayers need the patience. It will be my fist time with plastidip on my 61 Buick. I'm hoping I don't make those mistakes. It would suck lol
also, that blue on the driver side is real nice. you should do this car again in the blue and put a fun contrasting interferance pearl on it. sort of an homage to it. but maybe all nice cus ooo. or maybe split again as an updated video of this
I think this was a great video! Right on point with what i have seen with other videos. I wish people would do the research on this product because you make it easy for DIY's like myself to get a good end result with your product.
Glad you made this video. I'm an industrial painter and one of my coworkers wanted me to spray his car. He chose not to do it because of some of the reviews that he read. I told him it's probably peeping or the technique use that caused failure. I hope to try your product one day I do believe that it would be a great product. One question have you made a video on the clear bra I would be interested in that for my tuck.
Yeah...looks like I just did my whole car improper..the texture and look doesn't look exactly like I imagined it..is there anyway to fix it besides peeling it all off and starting from scratch?
I've seen these cars/trucks with a sexy/velvety black paint job in traffic and wondered wtf was going on... I now know it's dipped and can dream of dipping my own 👍👍🏁😁
I would say no, not at all, because you already have that texture underneath, it will still carry through if you were to wet it again, I would imagine it would require so many coats to fill it, it would not be practical in any sense.
I Was just thinking that you should do an episode where you spray it good and then bad so we can see the difference then .... BOOM!!! you Deliver!!!! Awesome!!!!
I've been watching you for a month. I wonder if I can paint myself. Previously, I only painted bedrooms lol. I done it my Jaguar XJ. A good product I recommend.
Awesome demonstration! Even though Plasti Dip has been out for quite some time, I STILL see people who try to use it; do a horrible job, then say that Plasti Dip sucks LOL.
I think a lot of amateurs have been conditioned to spray light coats of paint because that is what you are supposed to do with spray paint. Very light coats of paint, but many of them achieve the best result. Not so when painting a car!
The sad part is that most people who don't like PlastiDip, or who do it wrong, are never going to watch this video. However, I loved the video, and it's still good information to learn. Going to PlastiDip my wheels soon. I "wheel" keep this in mind. ;)
It is all in the technique. I have painted vehicles outside that looked better than that bad side but I will admit the first 3 or 4 I did were pretty bad but I got help learning and each was better than the last. I am interested in dipping my truck but would practice a side a time or to or a hood before trying to laydown entire vehicle. and extra gallon could be a lot of practice if you just did a fender and hood section and would be easy to remask 2-3 times if needed. Then when ready do entire vehicle.
A lot of it comes down to experience also. Sure we can follow your step by step guides but it will never be as perfect as you do it , as you have the expertice and know what youre doing it. Thats why i woudl rather spend the money and get you to do it.... only if you were in australia !
Mmm if you have a decent make shift diy paint booth(garage) and watch videos it's not impossible my first time doing my car and I had people ask how much I'd charge to do theirs
Just dipped my rims, and that itself is a pain with the rattle can, but it turned out fine. I can’t imagine trying to do the whole car with only cans, if that’s your only means of doing it, don’t do it
I've been a painter for about 15 years and I've never used this product. I've done single stage satin finishes and satin clear topcoats and they always look great. If I tried it I would put it on how I want it to look if that makes any sense? I would probably apply it like a wet single stage and hope for the best. I'm shure it takes practice you make it look easy though.
Yeah I did mine and it looks cool but I did my buddies with rustolium black acrylic spray paint it it looked glossy and took 20 min for $5 he was happy.
Would you be able to do one more thick (wet) coat on the bad side and make it look like the good side or do you have to start completely over on the bad side?
I can only imagine how hard it was for Fonzie to Intentionally spray so badly.... Nice to know he's that dedicated and able to over ride all his skills to do it. Thanks Fonzie!!!
Yeah I truly have to give this guy props. I think he is as genuine as they come when it comes to displaying a product and it's uses.
It felt so wrong...
Even trying to spray it badly he was still going through the motions right. It’s hard to break good habits but I bet the bottom 25% do panel by panel and not keeping the flow going when they spray it on. A lot of first timers would go fast and slow and hold the gun at the wrong angle so you would have some sags and runs in it.

I'll have you know every thing I've dipped has looked like crap. I stand by my perfect record.
@@ktmishra fuck off
I'm terrified to re-dip my car. Just scared of making another crap dip job. But at least I know where I went wrong this time.

Good idea
I think that’s how it should of been done
He has
put plastic trash bags on the wall and practice spraying

First time to see what WET looks like when spraying. I definitely would have made a couple of those mistakes. Thanks
So, this presents an interesting question. Can you save the job on the right side of the car, or do you have to peel and respray the whole thing for an even look?
I was thinking the same thing. Can this be salvaged?
It even looks like two different colors.
I think you could actually use the "Improper" spraying techniques to make a fake rusty or patina finish, that would be really cool!
It would be great for distressed rat-rod looks!
Antimation Studios I used uneven spray for my cars mudguards. It actually by fluke worked in my favour. The colouring is even, but the texturing is sorta gritty and gives it a sporty look and feel.
Well, improper only applies if the technique doesnt match the intended result.
Maybe a 4x4 truck or jeep in camo ???
If you want texture I'd still do a proper 2-3 coats and then you can lay the final coat from further away to add a little texture. If you do them for all the coats it'll be harder to remove and the coverage will be bad

Don't bother unless you are a painter waste of 500$

I'm re doing my job over the long weekend with the new aluminum dyc kit. I really appreciate you guys putting out these videos. Helps a lot.
I love how solution oriented and transparent you are with the process.
Experience is key, I dipped my car three times in the past, im getting better as I practice more. The hard spots for me are the roof and sides
I hear you on the roof. That is always the one place where I end up with texture and it is usually in the middle of the roof.
yes the roof, what is the problem with the damn roof? I can't tell exactly but suspect it's just you're too far away and often throwing product at an angle. I need to watch more closely next time and see exactly when it happened but it has to be distance i figure since texture is product that dried before it hit the surface, no?
Should have hired me to mess up that plastidip job.
Itd be hard to get that job over me!!! Hahaha. Im a pro at looking stupid doing this
I did the too far method on purpose on my truck hood. The black came out like bed liner. I did have to add another smooth coat to keep the rough texture from coming up. It gave it a more aggressive off road look but still be able to revert back.

Very glad to see this video. Getting ready to do a truck before the weather changes. Been thinking space gray will be nice.
space gray with one of the juices mixed in would look awesome
That was the most informative video you have posted yet.
love everything you guys do! is there any chance you can make a video showing how to possibly fix or improve the poorly done side(besides peeling and doing over)?
keep up the great work

I havent seen a Professionally dipped car in the midwest yet and I've been a fan since 2013.
The Mustang was a really good choice for this, the well-done side looks like a hot wheels car
You guys might want to add Tutorial - Good and Bad Examples or something to the title, I don't think anyone is going to search for dipped cars look like crap. And it really wouldn't get you the views I feel this video deserves. Very well done.
This was actually one of the best tutorial vids I've seen from y'all, although I'm not sure it was meant to be that, it definitely was.

Definitely learned my mistakes and knew where I went wrong. Redoing it for 2019 for sure.
And that basically sums up exactly what I've been doing wrong with my can efforts hah.
That said, it's can anyway.
Too cold, not wet/ spraying too dry, not overlapping, etc. Very handy

He has multiple videos of how to spray plastidip.

could the bad side be fixed with some more wetter coats? Also can you sand down the dip in spots where you might have rock chips?
This is a good video for Parker from Vehicle Virgins to watch. Maybe he'll do it properly next time.
I just dipped a wing for my car in black using a few spray cans. It looks like the bumpy grainy side. Is there anyway I can just spray a wet coat on it to even it out? Or lightly sand it first?
That laugh at 4:20 made me think there was someone behind me, even though I can see in my peripheral the only entrance to the room.
I guess the lingering question is, do we peel off the grit and just re-spray properly or is there a way to smooth it out and just add more coats...?
Did this on one of my first sprays, it was a trunk for a motorcycle. Basically felt and looked like a big toolbox, all bumply and cloudy. At least it's easy to peel off and do it right. Some lessons you have to learn the hard way though, haven't done it wrong since

3:58 - I had to check if that car going by was in the video or in real life.
So accordig to this, i did my wheels wrong roughly 4 years ago. Either way, i liked the rougher texture on the entire thing, and its at least an even coating and constant texture feeling.
Question is... can it be fixed? I mean the "amateur side" can it be fixed to get a similar look without peeling and re-doing?
Probably most people are doing it with rattle cans. I think if that's your only option maybe do each panel at a time.
If your only option is to dip a whole car with rattle cans, don't dip your car at all.
@@dipyourcar Yeah they are not gonna listen. I see it all the time.
If the rattle can gives bad results, why sell them at all?
MrNightpwner the rattle cans aren’t for whole car applications. Trim, wheels, etc.
MrNightpwner rattle cans are perfect for wheels, trim, emblems and small surfaces. Not for whole cars.
On top of the other issues caused by improper technique... the color just looks *off* on the badly-sprayed side. Almost like someone mixed in a moldy grayish-green pigment before applying it.
I think the main issue is first timers are afraid to lay it on thick enough out of fear of runs
Besides the texture and quality, the difference in the hue of the color is suprisingly drastic. Now I know when I look at search images why the same color will look so different from car to car.
Great video and long overdue. Makes the world of difference!
I'm used to spraying cars with regular car paint. It's easy to go too fast, too much distance, and mostly first time sprayers need the patience. It will be my fist time with plastidip on my 61 Buick. I'm hoping I don't make those mistakes. It would suck lol
also, that blue on the driver side is real nice.
you should do this car again in the blue and put a fun contrasting interferance pearl on it. sort of an homage to it. but maybe all nice cus ooo. or maybe split again as an updated video of this
is there any way to fix the texture without removing the plasti dip, Can I re-apply over top ?
I think this was a great video! Right on point with what i have seen with other videos. I wish people would do the research on this product because you make it easy for DIY's like myself to get a good end result with your product.
I saw a properly dipped jade green 2014 Mustang recently, looks kickass
Glad you made this video. I'm an industrial painter and one of my coworkers wanted me to spray his car. He chose not to do it because of some of the reviews that he read. I told him it's probably peeping or the technique use that caused failure. I hope to try your product one day I do believe that it would be a great product. One question have you made a video on the clear bra I would be interested in that for my tuck.
So if I make mistakes, like the one side of the car, could I just apply a few coats correctly on top of it?
Question... Does the dials come with number settings on them?
Happy to see you put his clip out
Yeah...looks like I just did my whole car improper..the texture and look doesn't look exactly like I imagined it..is there anyway to fix it besides peeling it all off and starting from scratch?
So whats the standard distance to spray from? Like 4-6 in.?
I've seen these cars/trucks with a sexy/velvety black paint job in traffic and wondered wtf was going on... I now know it's dipped and can dream of dipping my own 👍👍🏁😁
Can you paint over the jacked up section the correct way without having to peal?
It wont look as fresh and nice as the other side. So its just better to peel and start from scratch.
Good luck peeling it. Unless you add 4 layers of it you are scrubbing it off by hand! And it's not easy
If the layer is thick enough you can peel it. Ive peeled 1 layer with no problems.
I would say no, not at all, because you already have that texture underneath, it will still carry through if you were to wet it again, I would imagine it would require so many coats to fill it, it would not be practical in any sense.
Well on depending on how bad it is the thinner in the wet will melt the coat it’s being sprayed on, but not if that’s badly textured
I Was just thinking that you should do an episode where you spray it good and then bad so we can see the difference then .... BOOM!!! you Deliver!!!! Awesome!!!!
I've been watching you for a month. I wonder if I can paint myself. Previously, I only painted bedrooms lol. I done it my Jaguar XJ. A good product I recommend.
I am needing to replace the hood on my BMW E92 335i and will definitely practice on the old hood before trying it myself on the car.
That was well worth it for an example. Lots of work for this one video but worth it.
Good concept to show the importance of technique.
You can fix that right up with a brisk application of 80 grit sandpaper on an orbital sander.
Awesome demonstration! Even though Plasti Dip has been out for quite some time, I STILL see people who try to use it; do a horrible job, then say that Plasti Dip sucks LOL.
Doing an experiment with white Pearl and gold flakes I will upload high rez photos when I am done.
Subscribe kt mishra channel
this was actually a dope video to show everyone how to do it proper ..very nice
this was an excellent and informative video. i feel i've learned a lot from this.
3:51 isnt dry overspray ok? I thought minimal spray is ok, you just have to do more coats (apart from the last one)
I think a lot of amateurs have been conditioned to spray light coats of paint because that is what you are supposed to do with spray paint. Very light coats of paint, but many of them achieve the best result. Not so when painting a car!
Pfft... That's why I use a paint brush for my car
OSCAR BADILLO paint brush ? pfft, sharpie bro
iluveskiimo sharpie pfft, Crayons bro
@@TDC_Drako crayons are food bro
CMAsailor crayons? Pfft... play-doe bro.
gabriel martinez pfft, food colouring bro
Finally I wanted to see a video like this explaining all the mistakes
The worst part is dry spray is way harder to remove. It is more liable to flake and fall apart when peeling it off.
can you make a video of settings/techniques/pressures/nozzle sizes using a HVLP gun?
Excellent demo! Overlap and maintain the wet line!! Gets some puurdy finish!!! Lol! Thanks for showing us the best way possible!!
Really useful vid, thanks Fonzie! 👍
Fonzi... you're videos are great. I can't wait to buy your product and do my car 😊
The sad part is that most people who don't like PlastiDip, or who do it wrong, are never going to watch this video. However, I loved the video, and it's still good information to learn. Going to PlastiDip my wheels soon. I "wheel" keep this in mind. ;)
The texture part looks really good
It is all in the technique. I have painted vehicles outside that looked better than that bad side but I will admit the first 3 or 4 I did were pretty bad but I got help learning and each was better than the last.

Can you make a similar video using a rattle can ?
I wonder how long it took to peel off the plasti dip on the passenger side of the car.
Shouldnt have been so bad, because he had 4 base coats of grey first
Magical formula called DipDissolver
The 4 layers of base coat of that dark gray will prevent issues when peeling the plasti dip off.
Just dipped my rims, and that itself is a pain with the rattle can, but it turned out fine. I can’t imagine trying to do the whole car with only cans, if that’s your only means of doing it, don’t do it
Maybe I should redo my grill. I'm that diy guy that did a crappy job but I still like it. There is a huge difference in that Stang though.
This is exactly how my hood came out the first time I ever dipped.
Cool information vid, this gave me an idea maybe you guys can try. 2 tone a car, like old rolls and bentleys. Worth a try.
I've been a painter for about 15 years and I've never used this product. I've done single stage satin finishes and satin clear topcoats and they always look great. If I tried it I would put it on how I want it to look if that makes any sense? I would probably apply it like a wet single stage and hope for the best. I'm shure it takes practice you make it look easy though.
My biggest issue Is orange peel at times. And that’s from me being a wuss and spraying from too far away because I’m scared of runs. Smh
I wish they would have made a video fixing it
There is no fixing that. Once you spray from too far away and get texture, you have to peel and start fresh.
Excellent visualization for all the issues for first timers. That passenger side is the worst dip job ive ever seen lol!
I've seen a dip job from a "professional" dipper look like that. And the guy paid $800 for it.
How do you get the paint in the door handle? How would you mask a door handle??
Can I use this to paint my windshield arm wipers and plastic cover?
Yeah I did mine and it looks cool but I did my buddies with rustolium black acrylic spray paint it it looked glossy and took 20 min for $5 he was happy.
Would you be able to do one more thick (wet) coat on the bad side and make it look like the good side or do you have to start completely over on the bad side?
Great tutorial! Thank you for that! Maintain brudah
You make this look so easy
