yes they do. I picked up 4 black cans for just under $24 dollars today.


They didnt have any other colours, but like someone mentioned earlier you can have them order it by request.

Was at Home Depot in Bellingham last night and they had lots of Matte Black, Blue, Orange and one more colour that I can't recall, spray cans for $5.9X. Too bad they ran out of whites.

Car got stuck in a really tight spot trying to get out of my driveway because a truck parked illegally in the alleyway. So I tried to get out and ended up stupidly scratching up my black car against my gate's chain. White scratches into the clear coat and a dent.

I taped off a rectangle and covered the area with black plasticdip until I take care of it later.

Wouldn't look as bad without the stupid dent.

Just normal soap and water will do

You can put some rubbing alcohol and wipe it to help clean the surface

water and soap are good enough. Dry with a air blower or microfiber. Not recommend any pre-paint cleaner.

It was the lighting in that underground parkade. Not too concerned about the hassle it'll be removing, comes with the territory of owing nt03. Really its just temporary I plan on getting them soda blasted and powder coated when winter comes.

Goin to be ording a shit ton of cans


Btw not soo please right now. Dipped my friends Audi whole car a while ago baby blue (not my style either) with mattee black roof, trunk and hood. He parks in for a week in a friends driveway in Maple ridge while he works out of town and comes back to a gaint penis and fag scratchex into all his dip. Awesome. I understand its not for everyone but why fuck with someone property.

All got peeled off. We are going to redo it now. Lucky we did it think enough that they didn't go thru the dip and scratch his real paint.

Time for a dashcam and stock up on bats

I keep seeing you guys claiming to be buying from the DYC website. Don't they only allow US orders?

I don't see what I'm missing and I tried emailing them and calling them before, asking them to just ship to Point Roberts or Bellingham but they said they don't take Canadian credit cards? I really want to know if that is the case for you guys because what kind of company doesn't take just ANY credit card??

They do take Canadian cards but that could be for a limited time only. A lot of American companies are changing their policies to only take a credit card that bills to an American address.

My buddy just got a '92 golf for a DD and wants to paint it green - I told him about plastidip and he was curious to know how much for someone to do it. Anyone be able to throw a ballpark figure at it?

Contact Sounds Good.

They're an Authorized Vendor on this forum, and they now do Plastidip.
