Fun with plasti-dip

Nite Moves said
I know here in Ontario, Canada plastidip paint in a rattle can is like $20 / can. It would take alot of cans to a full size ram

Actually, it is available in sprayable gallons. I used 4-1/2 gallons of the Electric Lime Green. Rattle cans would have taken forever plus would cost a lot more. Retail on the materials would be around $350, but I never pay retail LOL. I spent less than $500 on 5 gallons of lime green, a gallon of black, AND the sprayer.

The main reason I did it was to see how it works and if i can make money at it. The Restoration work that I have been doing as a ways to make ends meet just does not pay enough and people don't seem to understand how labor intensive it is and how quickly costs ad up.

Guys around here get about $1000 to dip a 4-door truck. That is about 1/3 the price it would cost to have a truck painted and 1/2 the price of a vinyl wrap. If I can charge $900 and make about $500 for less than a day's work, that sounds awesome to me. I've already got my first customer lined up to do his old Mercedes SUV. It's going matte black with camo green camouflage patterns and a lime green logo for his business. I am doing his at cost plus time since he has a Gym in the same complex as my shop. He's got a ton of clients and they all have cars and most importantly, money LOL
