Hey, jmr_1602!

Do you have any pics on your car? Dipped?=)

I´ve got a few cans and trying them out on a few things, but the surface becomes a bit rough..

Just wondering how good it can get. At the same time - H-ll, I´m going for a 70´s racy look, it shouldn´t be to nice, right?=)

Ola,

I'll try and get some up close pics this week. I know when I initially painted my panels it looked very rough, but as it dried the paint started to smooth out on its own. The final outcome looks pretty good in my opinion, but definitely not as smooth as a real paint job.

Thanks, that´d be great!

I have a 74tii, just ordered the ProKit from dipyourcar.com. Went with 2 gallons of matte white. The kit come with basically everything you need to 'dip' your whole car. Including prep materials and a paint sprayer.

I'll post some pictures of the process as well as some shots of it all completed.

Wish me luck...

Cool. Did you use rattle can or a "proper" sprayer?

And if rattle can, was it a PITA to get it somewhat even?

Aaand, does it stick?=)

^thank you

I purchased cans at home depot for around 6 bucks a can. I did two cans on the hood, two cans on the trunk and one can total for both sides. It sticks just fine, and actually doing it without masking it ended up being easier. Here you can see the driver side and me wiping away the excess leaving it exactly where I want it. Super easy and awesome.

Just finished dipping my 74 tii. Overall happy with the way it turned out. Ended up using a total of 3 gallons, or about 6 or 7 coats of the sprayable pre-thinned dip in Matte White. Still have a bit of final peeling left to do and some accessories to reinstall, but 99% finished up.

I tried matte vinyl wrap to see what my car would look like in a different color

Looks good! Is that small alpina flares? Where did you get them and how much room do the get you? Less than the turbos-styles?

Yes they are small alpina, maybe about 1" more clearance, it made a huge difference under load when cornering hard, no more shaving sidewalls.

I bought them in FAQ Store, I believe Jaymic also sells them.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
