Autodip Quick Review

Haven't seen too many reviews of this stuff, so I thought I'd chip in. It is supposed to be like plastidip, but vinyl based and glossy. The stuff is fairly pricey at ~23 a can, plus the hazardous material shipping. So you'd hope it would be pretty decent. I wanted to give it a shot, so I ordered one can to test on my mirrors.

So the positives are that it really is gloss black.I haven't tested the removability, but will probably be trying that soon. Now the negatives. You will not get a good surface with this product. If you apply it lightly, it will have heavy orange peel. If you apply it a little more heavily (which does reduce the orange peel), you realize it is fairly inviscid, i.e. it runs extremely easily. Coming off of this, it does not fill very well. Any imperfections in the surface will cause the paint to run around it, require additional coats to cover it, and creating additional imperfections.

As a result, when you put it on the car, it looks very out of place. I will let it sit, but am planning on removing it and replacing it with a wrap when I get my roof done. Overall, I do not recommend this product. I could only recommend it for someone wanting a removable gloss black on their grills, as you could vinyl wrap everything else.
