- I put Plasti Dip on my Honda Element, see how it went!
Best piece of advice I can give is remove anything you don't want to paint, instead of masking it off. Masking takes a long time, and doesn't give the best results.
This was a long process, it took me 2.5 days.
Plasti Dip Honda Element in my garage I tried painting my car at home and my diy car paint job turned out great!
Planning on doing this to my element as well. Thank you for taking the time to film the process.
I appreciate that, it adds a lot of time to the process when filming
Bud, just found your channel and have to say you are awesome. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼🤙🏼🇵🇷
thanks Brah! these are the types of comments i like! Aloha
This came out freaking great, I dig everything about it.
Thanks Phil! Love your channel BTW, still trying to learn manuals...
@@TheHowtoDad Funny enough, when I checked out some of your other videos and I had apparently already watched the garage mini ramp build. You have a good thing going, I've subscribed.
You are a brave man! Congrats on a job well done.
easier than it looks
haha I want to dip my green element orange!
maybe we should trade
great video! it inspires me to dream for my Element!
its still in there. holding up pretty well
for anyone watching this do not use the same technique. instead of doing panel by panel you should walk the length of the car. even if you release at the end of your stroke you still do that over the car so you will still get areas of thicker coverage.
Thank you for pointing that out. I will say, it turned out ok using the technique I did.
@@TheHowtoDad Yes it did, but it could have easily not. Sometimes other colors will more readily show those types of mistakes in technique so it's better to research and learn the better way ahead of time. If you do another car you'll be a pro now that you've had experience!
I'm a professional Automotive painter for over 15 years and it's my passion and 2nd job I will say this my friend YOUR TECHNIQUE IS SPOT ON IN THIS VIDEO! You don't want to walk the entire length of the car, who does this but amateurs lol The reason being is (The type of equipment you're using as well as the paint quantity left over in your resevoir will most likely produce uneven strokes as time goes on in one setting) Painting in Sections using the same L to R and R to L sweeping motions will result in a much more even product TRUST ME I'VE PAINTED ALMOST 1000 cars and trucks this same way!
Super awesome video! Thanks for filming it! Also thanks for being active on reddit!
Looks good 👍
Great video!
Great
Sick man good work
It's been on for 2 years, so far so good!
Heck yeah!
I’m going to try and do a rap today at my friends shop. Hope it all works out. Planning on doing something Iv never seen done on a element:)
lol " the zipper broke"
Good work man. My element is the same color! How is the paint holding up?
Not bad. About 2 years old now. Might do an overcoat to clean it up. It's a bit of a pain because it reacts badly with gas or any other solvent. Gotta keep armor all and other things away from it. Still better than driving a burn orange box around though!
I'm planning on doing an update video soon. I've just got so many other projects on the go...
Love these car been Looking all over for a good one w less mileage than normal hard to find
ya, they stopped making them, now they are very popular. I love mine, that's why we bought a second
Thanks.
Amazing pain job!! I have a question about you rims and tires. Which rims and tires do you have in your Element? Thank you!
those are just steel rims with winter tires
How did this hold up over the years?
not bad, still on there. so what's that been? 4 years? you need to be careful with gasoline and other solvent types, which is annoying. overall, still happy I did it.
Does it bother you to see the orange color on the inside when the doors are open? Looks great!
a little. but it also reminds me that I did the right thing!
that's so rad! also what's leo's channel? I cannot see the link
Here's the link: czcams.com/channels/g-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA.html
I wouldve traded my grey ele for an orange one😭
How much did this cost in parts and product? Im thinking of doing this to my element. Thanks
I used the large kit, the total cost was $516 USD. This included the sprayer. as a tip, to get 10% off, put your order in your cart, go through all the steps to pay, DON'T pay. wait a day or so and they will drop the price by 10%. Also I should add, the job hasn't been holding up as well as I would have liked.

@Phil Perri who told you that? you really don't need to wet sand your paint...just clean it really well, besides, you don't want it to embed itself into your paint, that would make it really hard to get off.
@Phil Perri not as well as I had hoped, but about as well as is to be expected for something that is temporary.
How much was all the supplies required?
This was a while ago, but i remember it being around $600
Wait what color green is that again? Looks good
Tactical green
Hi, just found this. how is it holding up? I saw a video you did a few years ago and you had a silver E.
It's holding up ok. I intend to do a follow up shortly. Biggest issue I've had is with gasoline getting dripped or splashed onto the plastudip. Any solvent will melt it, causing bubbling or holes in the plastudip.
This is my second element, the silver one had enough of this world
@@TheHowtoDad oh yeah, the gas. Thought of doing my wheels. That can't be too hard. I have the cheap plastic hub caps on mine. I want to do one of those vinyl mountain sticker scenes along the bottom or on my roof basket front. They look cool.
You did 4 coats of gun metal gray how many gallons was that? And 4 coats of tactical green how many gallons was that? In the beginning you have 5 gallons so I'm trying to do the math. I'm a math teacher😅
I used 3 and a bit. but used more green than was needed (first coat). I had enought left over to do my rocket bax and still have a third of a gallon of green and half grey.
@@TheHowtoDad did you buy the large kit? Also, how is it holding up? Thanks for your time and sorry if I'm being bothersome.
I ordered the large kit. More than enough, I'd say a smaller kit would do the job
@@TheHowtoDad awesome thanks for your info I really appreciate it and keep it up.
Brother what are those wheels? I want to switch mine.
Just steel rims and winter tires...nothing special
Has it held up?
It's held up alright. I'm going to post a followup in a few weeks. I'm on a road trip atm
@@TheHowtoDad awesome thanks!!
where's the link for leo
Thank you! I forgot!
I need gun plasti dip
So you turn a great looking Element into ****. Okay. Different strokes. Thanks for the video though. Entertaining and educational. Now I'll know what not to do in the future. JMHO
I'm not keen on flashy colours. I think it looks much better this way. I get tonnes of compliments on the colour. But, ya, different strokes
There is no CC.
cc?
