2016 Civic EXT Liquid Wrapped

[Snoopyslr]

Thank you so much for the feedback! The front faux vents they left flat black which contrasts well in the sun, but the rear ones were sprayed over with the pearl. I thought about that as well and thought it maybe look weird on the stock rims. I'll definitely think about saving up for non-stock wheels in the future, but for now I like that it's at least somewhat protecting the OEM units. I have a really long highway commute to and from work, so this gave me a peace of mind in protecting the OEM paint. Thank you for your input!

I think your stock rims look really good, and I hate the stock EX-T wheels. I got my wheels off ebay for $440 shipped. I bought the same size so I could still use the stock tires. eBay seller http://stores.ebay.com/intense7674/ if you wanna check out what he has. The quality is excellent!

I dipped my car mostly for the protection on my 110 mile round trip work commute as well.

With proper care I've heard as long as 3 years. I've seen people power wash and use all kinds of car care products on it.

I personally have not power washed mine yet (I will this winter) and I only use products that are intended for plasti-dip. I don't want to use something that will cause the dip to become brittle and not peel down the road.

Does it matter if a wrapped car is out in the sun all day..How does it hold up with hail and ice?? All these elements happen where I live.

I'll let you know after this winter. I'm going to be dipping my WRX in a matte color before this winter also. I plan to peel that in the spring so I can experience peeling the car. My Civic is going to remain dipped as long as possible. So far it's extremely durable. I took a pretty good size rock to the hood on my Civic a bit ago, didn't even leave a mark.

Would be a good Si color..Kind of similar to the color on the HRV..Deep Ocean Pearl...Wish they offered that on the coupe.

I plastidipped my son's crz and sure it looks good from a distance but up close it looks not good. And when we peeled it after 8 months it wouldn't peel much. So we had to use 5 bottles of goo gone to remove it and it took 2-3weeks to get it all off.. never again. Lol plastidip sucks. I would rather change the color in a quality way like paint.

I thought wrapping was different from plastidip? I would only wrap because I thought that was more durable than plastidip.

Sounds like you didn't put enough layers on. How many layers did you do? What was the paint surface you dipped over like?

Liquid wrap is the same as plastidip. "Wrapping" is usually referring to vinyl wrapping.

We put 2 gallons on a CRZ.. seemed like enough product for such a small car. We did it before winter and it was on until 90degree hot summer days. Fonzee at DipyourCar.com makes it look way too easy. Haha Its a learning process. They make a dip desolver but we never tried it. Our biggest learning curve was the peal when wet spots.
