Plasti-dipped 128i
We finally got a nice day here in Vancouver, so i spent the majority of the day plasti-dipping my 128i.
for those of you who dont know what plasti-dip is, its basically a sprayable rubberized coating. Most people use it on their rims, in my case, my 128i had horrible roadrash all over the front of the car so for a fun solution i decided to dip the whole car..

i like it, lucky you chose an easy colour to do! haha.. not having to worry lots about thickness. funny that 8 cans can do a whole car, but it takes 4 to do 4 wheels :P |

Looks good - nice way to preserve the paint below and if you get bored of your color you can change it up for a decent cost.
How long will this last? Can you use a power hose to wash it at the do it yourself car washes without it taking it off? |

IMO, car is coming along/on its way...
- needs new wheels sans rubber band tire specs - a drop to get rid of gap / 4x4 status - windows tinted - new front bumper (personally not a fan of 128i front bumper) But good job on the plastidip painting! |

Nice job man! what was the original color of your car?
The 2012 front bumper for the 128i is much improved, sportier and more aggressive looking... |
