I've seen youtube videos on how cars are sprayed with Dura Dip. The color possibilities are limitless.
Did anyone here had their cars spray painted with Dura Dip? I want to know the pros and cons of it.
Thanks!

Okay, I looked it up on Google and learned it can damage the clear coat. If left on too long, it may imbed itself into the clear coat. Dura/Plasti Dip contains a chemical, Xylene. A solvent that prevents the product from drying out while sealed in the can.
So then Clear coat + Dura/Plasti Dip + Xylene = damaged clear coat. You'll end up having to repaint of the car.
