$2600 vinyl wrap vs $500 DIY Plasti dip kit. Is the wrap worth the cost?
We bought two identical 350Zs and have been modifying them to be FUN, daily drivers that you can take to the track. James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe are on Team Hi, and their car gets the expensive parts. Nolan Sykes and Aaron Parker are on team Low. Their car gets the cheap ones.
Then we test them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on.
If you want to “paint” or change the color of your car, you basically have three options- A traditional paint job, a vinyl wrap, or plastidip. The gloss of a paint job is intoxicating, but a perfect paint job like that is not only ridonkulously expensive, but it takes forever. There is so much prep work involved with a paint job like!
So Hi Team is taking the happy medium route: they're getting Hi Car professionally vinyl wrapped. $2600 bucks. A quality wrap job is the best of every world. Hardly any prep work. It only takes a few days to get one done, though if you’re doing it yourself, put your patience-pants on.
It protects your paint --if it’s worth protecting, it’s totally reversible --for when you change your mind, and you can have any sort of graphic screen printed onto a vinyl wrap.
Team Low will be plastidipping their car by hand. Plasti dip offers many of the same benefits as vinyl-wrapping, but for a fraction of the price. We bought this plasti dip kit from “dip your car” for $500. It is California compliant, so that might make it worse. But on the bright side, it is relatively easy to do yourself (or so Nolan thought), there’s very little prep work, it’s totally reversible, and it’s easy to fix damage or mistakes. The only downsides are that it’s never going to look like a great paint job, it’s not that durable, and Team Low has to do it themselves
Does it look $2000 better? Let's find out!

Hey everyone, we made Nolan respray the Low Car and it came out pretty freakin' awesome. If you'd like to see how it looks now the video is right here ----> ua-cam.com/video/anLkqccD1oo/v-deo.html&t
Guys at 1:25 is that jobes actual miata now? You guys teasing what it looks like at the end of the series? I’m actually getting hype
@@adilsiddiqi9911 looks like a different car. Completely different headlights for one
Damn... Good spotting mate haha
Did I just see a Easter egg at 1:25?
Low car's value can't get any lower
Donut: "watch me"
This was hard to watch...
@@alil1294 this should be a crime
To be fair most of the other low car upgrades were still upgrades
Keegan Murphy yea wheels and tires everything else might as well keep stock
With so many mods the value goes up... If you paint it

Good job stealing a fb meme lol
Adrian Leon but the joke fits the vid so it’s ok
Adrian Leon always that one guy
Aaron is such a good guy by throwing himself in it. "it was a team effort".
I really miss him this season.
It's ok Nolan

I was like “he’s getting really close with the pressure washer” *paint chips off*
When u don’t watch chrisfix
I never heard you say that.
And that's why you should be careful with a gas pressure washer. You only want about 1500psi and as much GPM as you can get for washing a car.
Ow ow ow ow it hurt to watch
That was probably the previous owners' paint "correction" coming off. You notice he pointed some scuffs out near the door that weren't visible before.
Been waiting for this since James mentioned that Nolan cried😂
It’s been on Facebook for months
@@archiedoughballs6599 ah you beat me to it
Same
I came here to make sure I wasn’t going crazy....
@@zachfritsche4580 i thought the same
I’m just glad that Nolan redipped himself
Yeah but how does his responce vid come out before this vid
MeekGroundhog21 this came out months before
Where
MeekGroundhog21 what do you mean where? What response vid are you talking about?
MeekGroundhog21 you’re on the video that came before, the plasti dip redo came out months after this wasn’t a one week difference
😂I’ve never seen someone mess up plasti dip that bad
I'm join that club, messed up too 😅
If we were gonna...oh i don't know...make Nolan respray the Low Car, what color should we choose?
Hot pink Because of how about the 1st one came out
Donut Media crimson red
The Donut Media yellow
Matte Black - because it's one of the cheapest colors; Or go mental with PlastiDip with ColourShift Pearls (like DipYourCar)
Donut Media collab with DipYourCar and do some crazy color shift.
"Relatively easy" - famous last words lol
For real
There she goes to kill me chicken nugget sf true✌🏽🔰
Relative to wrapping yourself or doing emergency, roadside surgery without tools or training.
As someone who has painted cars for a living, this was painful to watch. Sweet masking job though
LOL
Yeah the mask was good.
As a model builder, this was painful to watch.
Nice masking job
Pro-tier masking, shit-tier painting.
Any monkey can mask though, let's be real. It takes the right equipment AND skills to paint.
But if they professionally wraped it, why not professionally plasti dip it?
And if its hy low, why not low, wrap vs high dip? And vice versa
Viktoras K. they were going for basically the cheapest option possible vs professional option
Honestly they did a really good prep job...
@@uonadtehrrocks fine prep job, shitty application
@@AndyQ191 professional should have been a paint job then wrap will never be as nice
@@electro740 They have time constraints for this show a wrap takes a day while paint takes multiple they explained this at the start of the vid.
4:35 I love the attempt at Jeremy Clarkson’s iconic “Meanwhile”
Yes 🤣
They’ll never get it right
Noah Leclair and then hammonds afterwards!
"Buffeting"
@@frankcarden4709 lmao
That classic Jeremy Clarkson "Meanwhile..." tho
CLARKSOOOOON
glad i wasnt the only one to notice lmao
Came here to say this! I laughed too hard when it clicked.
Good old days of Top Gear😢😢😢
On tonight’s car program:
James falls of a sled in Japan.
Hammond flips a car, again.
And I get pneumonia in a tropical island again.
So they didnt give the plastidip a hope in hell. They were "painting" over a chipped surface, using the wrong equipment, and a ten year old product ???
It was a dub over so they didn't know until the video was done.
@@alexandramarberry1023 The person who did it before, just doesn't even count. That's not a good representation of most car owners. Unless people are so stupid, they literally don't watch any videos, or read any directions before doing anything they do. Which disqualifies plastidip. it means the person as a whole is stupid, so anything tthey do is shit quality. walmart vs whole foods.
haha amen. yet another group who specifically set up the video. they didn't even partially apply the product properly. Set up to fail. That's a poor business mindset.
If they got the high car professionally wrapped car they should’ve done the same for the plasti dip, then they would’ve got a good result
Dude the video itself went funny as hell due to that, it really made it better. It's not about being unfair to plasti dip, as they've shown examples of it working great.
This series should be called “Watch Nolan Struggle” instead of Hi/Low
i fucking second this lmao
Hahaha good one, but honestly tho. How many people out of 100 have plasti-dipped a car properly.. id say about 1 out of 100, so yes its funny but id say almost eveyone would struggle with that. Because almost everyone, has never done that! Im sure you love Nolan. I do too, but just sparking conversation. My point is the fact that anybody that is a veteran plasti-dipper is not someone id like to have a beer with, unless its there undesired job.
K Stu it’s every episode though, it’s kind of the tone of the whole thing. Yeah it’s funny but this episode was the epitome of that. They could have compared having both done professionally if it was meant to be a true comparison instead the whole episode was about how Nolan struggled and how funny it was.
@@iforc lmao yeah your right man., Nolan has a great sense of humor and handles the crap dished out really well, great series!
I feel so bad for him 😂
Moral of the story: don't paint your car if you don't know what you're doing
Matthew Calderon it’s for entertainment
@@liamflan9553 Depends if you count that as entertainment
@@Reploidx9 lol I sure do!
I would say do research before you do it.
im pretty sure the plasti dip channel literally has like 100 videos on how to plasti dip with a spray gun at home, they did it like completely wrong its super simple to do they just didnt search how to do it. plasti dip isnt like sprain paint you, dont do light layers you do good full coverage over lapping layers not too thick stay about a foot and a half back if i remember
"we didn't order the plasti-dip on time"
What, were stores closed?
"in a WORLD where brick and mortar stores no longer exist..."
@@MysteryD "And planning ahead is a superpower mere mortals are incapable of...."
@@MysteryD Pretty sure there has to be an Eastwood in LA.
@@RossWeitzner so weird you mention that. I live in the same town as Eastwood headquarters.

I second this
I don't wanna get you upset but they did all the episodes already they are just releasing then once a week
Nicholas Greer aww shucks! I forgot about that. They might have done it though, we’ll see.
@@nicholasgreer6072 I seen this video like 3 or 4 months ago on Facebook. They're all on Facebook
@@nicholasgreer6072 oh ;~;
5:22 I swear that was Clarkson saying "meanwhile"
Yesssss
I just found your channel and I’m loving in. Cool, relatable dudes talking about cars in a calm and intelligent manner. I’m digging it guys!
They also laid it on SUPER thick for the first coat. You're barely supposed to know it's there on the first coat. A good plastidip is usually 5 coats with 30 minutes between each coat depending on ambient temperature. I'm currently plastidipping my car piece by piece and it's coming out really respectable
Being a Plasti dip expert probably isn't the fit you're looking for
Well that doesn't sound easy at all lol. That's why people pay for a pro to do it.
@@bernlin2000 as someone who was a car and van paint apprentice i can tell you, it isn't easy and talent will only get you so far. To do a really good job its worth paying a guy that has the years of experience already lol.
I did my fender flares on my Tacoma and it took me close to 10 coats because I was applying it so sparingly in order to avoid what they went through lol.
@@bernlin2000 so I rattle canned my entire miata with plastidip and even included a stencil (wouldnt recomend the stencil route). Your first two coats being barely there is just a matter of pulling back the can further away and "dusting" the surface. Same principle with a paint gun. That allows the plastidip to adhere in a more uniform way on the surface. Helps to practice on one area before moving to the rest of the car. Learned the hard way but honestly who cares, were not all experts right off the bat despite what the internet might have you believe.
Lmao “butcher” box just like that “butchered” paint job
nice.
Donut Media nice
nice.
Nice.

I had to give you guys a thumbs up for this, cuz the plasti-dip literally got me laughing out loud ... Fantastic job, guys !!!
3:21 Nolan just chillin' on the boat
3:40 aRe YoU oN a BoAt?!?
Man can teleport and had amnesia. The two for one package.
I wonder if these guys have seen Dip Your Car’s reaction to this.
Yes they have and they also commented on there dip your cars, video.
Nice link
The donut video used to be the reaction. They did it right and played that video instead of this video. Am I time travelling?? Am I going back in time I thought we sorted this out donut wtf
@@ShoshinMizu This video is months old, posted on Facebook originally
Cris Mendez It came out on Facebook like, really really long ago.
I've seen worse literally , I remember seeing a Toyota vios which was covered in black duct-tape.
It's a wrap for the price of a plati dip
I´ve seen cars painted with brush and house paint
I saw a civic covered in flex seal. It was really bumpy, like sandpaper and plastidip had a baby, but it was really funny and interesting cuz it was just his clapped out beater car
@@charliemcmillan4230 I might've been paint-on truck bed liner which is really bumpy and rubbery
finally something i can afford, thanks for the idea !
This is the best car series ever!!! Is fun and is a blast seeing u fellas working on your cars. Keep it up
Liked for the Jeremy clarkson “meanwhile”
*Holds 3000 PSI pressure washer nozzle 2 inches from car*
"Derrrrr my paint done come off!"
😂
LMAO
They have tips that are lower psi but he for sure didnt have said tip
chickensfloat_ on_dirtbikes lmao do you really think that psi is determined by the nozzle?
@@jacklawford6452 the tip restricts it
Thank you, team Nolan for making a vid that I can show customers how easy it is to F**k things up if you use the wrong equipment and don't have a clue how to use a paint gun.
Also I dont think youre supposed to mix dip with thinner.
I did a couple cars with plastidip and a spray gun, and they turned out.. Well.. About as good as they can. Certainly better than nolans lol
Yeah if you sell stickers then yeah...you're gonna need all the help you can get.
Plz don’t stop these🙏🏽, I can watch these for hours
best video series on youtube for cars. absolutely love it
The fact that the plasti-dip was totally unprepared, it takes everything away from the video
Turned into a commerical for the wrap shop
If you actually watched the video. The vehical was fully preped.
ARIES MIGHT not the vehicle, the plasti-dipping itself
Do you @@ashkechum101 even know what you are talking about! Because what you said does not make any sense.
They did almost everything wrong possible lol right down to the gun they used

Hey!
Oh Jeremy

This is the first donut video that had me in tears. Thank you guys. THis is the first nolan video i liked more than up to speed
I seriously love this series. PLEASE do more cars and if you can MORE upgrades and a faster upload schedule, again, if possible.
thank you this is exactly what i wanted for my birthday
Happy birthday!

Ok, I doubt you'll read this, but you need to end the season with both of these cars vs a brand new stock 370z.

The last bit was a good disclaimer. I'm glad you made a part two and fixed your plasti dip. I can see how it was hurting his business, and why he sent y'all the tutorial and starter kits. Be smart bois
Wow! The vinyl of the High Car is perfection. My compliments to James. Excellent Plasti Dip on Nolan's 350Z too. My compliments to both of you. Have a great day 😃☀️👍
is this reupload? i think i remember dipYourCar response to this
The series was originally only on Facebook and I guess they're putting it on UA-cam now
I remember seeing this on UA-cam
Me too, I remember the guy with the huge biceps response to it. Lol
Yeah this was on UA-cam forever ago
They added stuff onto the end of this video, basically saying that it was their fault and that a good plasti dip job looks good.
This is when Nolan has a breaking point 😅
i am already excited for the next season of this series, cant wait for James to have the low car. and i think im more excited to see what route is taken for the new cars used. Either early 90s JDM or just flat out beater junkyard car with more parts than you paid for it.
New to the channel and the whole car game! Love ya content, perciate the effort yall put in!
James’s dad actually has a UA-cam channel titled “Matt’s off road recovery”

@@zuestoots5176 yeah, and clear coat. sooooooo much clear coat
Painted my car like that. Granted I was a bit unconventional in my choice of style of paint and it could’ve been done a bit better but I am still happy with it. Plus I am working a minimum wage job so it helped me not die financially

@@1WonderingApe It shouldn't; it's a fraction of the cost of vinyl wrapping. They're made for two different markets, the whole concept of plastidipping is that you can change the look and color of your car in your garage/driveway. It's a lot easier to do than vinyl wrapping, where a professional installation is basically a requirement.
@@1WonderingApe A proper vinyl wrap costs about the same as a proper paint job. Why would something that costs nearly 10x less look as good?

They reloaded it but also looks like they edited after dyc video. This time they mentioned that's the wrong sprayer and the dip was 10 years old so they atleast let us know they fucked up this time
Yeah but they claim they used DYC product in the description. That’s fucked up. That’s like using eBay vinyl and then claiming you used 3M or Avery
