Wrapped my hatchback roof!

[siczy]

Went and had this wrapped yesterday, got it for a good price and it looks great. I feel like honda should have made this factory on the hatchback.

Look nice man. I plan to get my roof wrapped as well, do you know if it can handle winter in Canada? That's my only concern.

I've got vinyl wrap on my roof and plastidip on the entire car. It's been through 2 winters in Michigan and it's holding up great. The roof has a ton of microscratching, but the plastidip is still perfect.

I'm more interested in that portable inflatable garage lol

Plasti dippped all the chrome parts on my 15 Si and it held up great during Canadian winters, just make sure you add a couple solid layers and you won't have any issues.

U meant like spray one layer, let it dry then add another one?

Minimum 6 layers. I always put 10 layers down so it peels in one piece.

If you spray one layer of plastidip... you're gonna have a bad time.

I want to spray my badges, i dont want to take them off of the car. How much taping off do i have to do? can i get the plastidip on the car?

Dipyourcar.com has a video on youtube on dipping badges, check it out. You'll want to tape mask around the badge and cover the car to prevent overspray from getting on it. After you spray the badge, you can peel away the dip that is on the paint.

This is how my WRX peeled. Plastidip is amazing when you use it properly. This was 1 tack coat and 10 full wet coats.

Check out some of the videos from Dipyourcar.com on YouTube on how to plastidip before you attempt it.

I would tape off everything around the badge then go to town. If you happen to get some over spray on your paint a good microfibre cloth will wipe it off without issue.

You shouldn't have to cut anything. Most of the time it self-cuts and doesn't bridge across gaps.
