Re: Plasti-dipped my B5.

Have a look on my thread mate :) they look good, but the colour needs to be darker. So it'll be getting peeled off and redoing them. Does the bird poop rule apply to plasti-dip? Just had a butchers and didn't realize that was that was your project thread Good idea protecting them but I see what you...

Re: Plasti-dipped my B5.

Well from what I've learnt about it so far. Very little after care. Obviously bird poop should be removed asap. But generally power washing is fine and no need to dry.

Get a pic up man, lets have a look.
Good thing about it is it should protect your precious wheels in winter.

Re: washing cars the most common mistake

I'll admit to a massive F up when I was 16 (13yrs ago). I cleaned my mum and dads Mondeo which at the time a spotless saphirre cosworth wheels. Cleaning the car was no problem but the brake dust wouldn't come off as easily with the fairy liquid x_x I used. SO I got the rough side of a dish sponge on...

Re: Plasti-dipped my B5.

To do it yourself I wouldn't spend any less then £500. All the prep bits and bobs soon start to add up. Plus paint, machine, safety gear etc. Once I've finished doing a few other cars I'll start putting a price list. Roughly for a passat sized car £450 inclusive of parts and labour. Which I think ...

Re: 4 motion/Quattro Setup

From watching an old episode of 5th gear on the r36 (4mo) and a6 (quattro).
4mo was supposed to be 50/50 and quattro 60/40. But I don't know if that goes for all quattros and 4mo's.

Re: Plasti-dipped my B5.

Well I ordered a good piece of kit including paint which set me back around £500. No primers were used as black doesnt need it. As for prep work there isn't a lot other then the usual masking, and intensive cleaning prior. If you saw the deep scratches I have on my drivers side the dip hasn't done ...

Re: Plasti-dipped my B5.

Cheers guys, Reason I went for the pink wheels was because I knew I was going to start plasti-dipping and wanted it to stand out / good for advertising. As for working with it... It was quite good to be honest scary watching it dry because it looks so lumpy and rippley. But when it settles and drys ...
