  • With a $174 budget, let's see if we can transform this junker car into something half decent using PlastiDip. After all - with a car like this, what have we got to lose?

    $174, a weekend, and a sore finger. Your accord looks $1000 better. Totally worth it.

    • @innout3x3
      @innout3x3 Před 4 měsíci +5

      There's a great tool I put on top of the cans that you could use a trigger. For a person who has used a lot of dip, it's a finger saver.

  • @GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge

    Looks better than it did. Here's a tip, they sell a handle that attaches to spray cans that truly makes it easier to spray large quantities of rattle can paint.

    I wish I could go back 3 years and tell you about the"Aerosol Trigger handles" that you can put on the spray can so your finger doesn't hurt.... as much.
    The car turned out FANTASTIC. I would have to add the cost of the mask to this job's cost and you don't want to buy a cheap Ali-Express or TEMU one 🤣
    I like the AFFORD logo on the back... nice touch.

  • @Laserred01
    @Laserred01 Před 4 měsíci +7

    I did a similar thing on my "daily driver". Paint was sun faded bad so I painted it in summit racing primer black. I've having to constantly respray it until I decide what to do next. What I learned... just get a gallon of paint and a cheap sprayer and it will turn out better and cheaper than those crappy rattle cans!

    This was a fun experiment. You can buy a proper PlastiDip car kit (more paint plus DYC sprayer) for about $470 at dipyourcar.com but my goal here was to see how inexpensively we could paint this car and still have it look decent. If we decide to remove the PlastiDip from this car some day we'll post an update video.

    Just for future reference, when doing wheels, take them off the car. Jack it up and do 1 wheel at a time, so if you ever need to do your brakes or have a flat on the freeway, you are able to remove your wheel and lugs with hand tools. The plasti dip with get into the crevice and make it really hard to get off.

    You guys did a great job. My nephew also drives the same car and indeed it runs forever. It has 180.000 miles on it and still runs fine. His car is a 2004, and the paint isn't that cracked up to be anymore. So thanks for this vid, it would be something duable for us.

    Really glad you shared this, thank you! I have a 2007 Mazda 3 that sits most of the time and the paint got ruined from some hard water sprinklers. I was able to get it cleaned up, but it was bad enough that a lot of the clearcoat has started to come off and it just looks awful. I might have to make this a weekend project! Thanks again!

    Great effort and great job. Throwing the paint on is just the last stage in this colossal job. If you came to the point of having the whole body ready for paint, having the rubber seals, handles and other stuff off your way is not so much more jib and it might make a huge difference in your final product, getting practically profissional, because the real hard stuff is straighting, puttying and sanding. Paint job as manouvering the paint gun is just wonderful sensation. You should try it. Congratulations

    I've considered the same sort of thing for our 2nd car that is showing signs of wear on the finish. It's hard to imagine you wouldn't have known up front to use a spray can trigger handle. They're only about $5 and so much easier on the hand than gripping the can and pushing the nozzle with your fingers.
