Dipping

[$ub$onic]

So I was thinking today. I dipped my whole roof. I can Eather
A) leave it like that forever
B) remove it before the paint fades and I got a multicolored sonic

So my question is how long do u think this paint will go before I fades of u use a good turtle wax compound

my wheels lasted a little more than a year using automatic car washes twice a week. no other protectants. and I didn't clean my wheels when I applied the derp.

I had thought about having my roof painted a gloss or metallic black but I'd give it 6 months

C I really love my black roof it really breaks it up but idk if its something I wanna live with for the rest if its life

 

[Eric Smit]

you could just redo it when it starts to peel.

I'm more worryed about fading of the paint not under the dip

 

[Eric Smit]

if you keep it painted it won't matter.

Not bad. I'm not usually a fan of multi colored cars but I think it looks good

With the black weatherstrip between the roof and all other body panels I don't think you will be able to see any fading. Also use wax with uv protection that will also prevent fading.

I use the turtle wax ice. Waxed once a month. And you do have a point about the weather strip
