Seeing as how my truck is two shades of white, I may plastidip it to see how well it does
I've read about $80 will do 2 heavy coats and one light top coat of a suburban
Surely that will be enough
But I do have rust that keeps coming back in one or two spots
Get them wiped out and then get it done
So far there's no prep besides taping things off
If anyone is interested in the process I'll be taking plenty of pictures

I hear you thin it out half n half but I didn't think it would be enough to do a truck let alone a burb. Dude if you do this let us know. I had planned to use the glossifier a couple coast to get that sheen..

I am interested to hear how it holds up to the sun. I have been considering using it to do some flat black stripes on my black SS. I am just unsure how it will stand up to the sun, and how well the stuff actually pulls off after being baked for a time.

Silver or Light Gray look badass as hell with black. Gold kinda looks OK, but you won't be Silver or Light Gray. Even Charcoal Gray would look awesome.
