RE: Turning purple for PH
Discussion
Good thread, learnt a lot about something I knew nothing about.
Whatever I do to a car to make something look better or get rid of a problem always goes worse. Orange peel? I have the entire orchard.
This sort of thing

I helped a mate spray his entire car earlier this year. I think 5L or plastidip and 5L of thinners was about £120. Then paid £30 for a crappy electric spray gun.
You need pretty much zero skill to get a good result and due to the low cost we were considering making a business out of it. Never thought people would be prepared to pay £1,500 though! Can do the entire car in a few hours also.

I have plastidip race cars before until removing stickers removed the plastic coating. In general like the idea and easy of use but just too expensive compared to respray and wrapping.
Atleast with wrapping you can get different patterns, shapes and schemes printed (we used to print stickers and logos on the wrap itself) not just a flat matte colour. But tbh i costs too much for a temp thing, for road car i rather paint it as wrap still doesn't have any depth to gloss and corners look horrible, where plastidip corners are far better.

I see the OP's car most days in Guildford. I think it looks horrific, like someone brush-painted it in purple primer. Just meeds some fluorescent green paint for the wheels to look like a Joker-mobile.
Proof positive that personal tastes vary considerably. At least it gets noticed I suppose, which I'd assume is part of the point.
