Dip Your Car website
Some guys at work have done this on their truck wheels. Looks awesome. This site also shows equipment, etc.... I have seen this forum talk about the vinyl wraps, but not much about dipping, maybe I just missed it. Seems cool. I am going to look into dipping my 85 VW Cabriolet. Looks like crap now, what can it hurt. Word is Rustoleum has a product too. I believe it is at hardware stores, like Home Depot. |

My brother has done his FX35 a couple couple time in different colors and has not had any issues. I did my wheels and trim in the black. The gallons used through the spray gun come off easier and is more durable then what you get when you buy the cans at Home Depot or Pep boys. I was thinking of doing the clear satin on my 914 to cover the pain I just had done.
I know the more layers you apply the easier it peels off. On my brothers car he had a ding, we pulled the dip all off his door and just reshot that section. He applied about 5 to 6 coats. We didn't have any issues and he parks and keeps his car outside. |

Would be interesting to see if it also repels potentially new areas of rust in the long term. I may have to dip mine this Fall. I would like to have a temporarily blue 914.
