    Most automotive paints are of decent quality. The biggest reason why people say this paint held up like crap or is bubbling, peeling, etc is because of how it was done. Prep and primer and sealer are the most important part of any paint job. Next is proper mixture of the paint and then proper coverage of the paint. I have seen some single stage tractor implement paint that costs $50 a gallon look as good as a 5k paint job. A quality paint does have its benefits as well as quality equipment. Paint can be fixed. Btw plastidip looks like shit! No matter if the benefit is that you can remove it and test colors. Its like a gay guy using a condom on his boyfriend. It comes out with shit in the end.

    Thanks for the help. I don't quite have the faith in plasti dip as some

  2. According to what I have seen on television, it is good stuff. But thats television. Never seen it in person. You might want to try a cheap approach before you go all in. Plasti-Dip, though hated on the forum by most, would give you an idea of what it would look like, freshen it up, and you could save your money toward a better product like PPG.

     

    (I am not supporting Plasti-Dip, nor am I saying it is a great fix. It would just help him get a better idea of what he is wanting. So no flame please.)

    I know what the paint looks like. When you have rust and body work that needs to be done you need real paint. Not fake peel able stuff. I got enough peeling paint to deal with.

     

     

    www.dipyourcar.com I agree i've seen it done on a few cars and trucks and turned out very well for cheap coverage. not sure why people on here hate on it but it does work well on rim's and badges.

    Plasti dip has its place. But I don't believe in covering body paint with the stuff

  3. Looks like they're getting harder to find, but they're still out there.

    I don't think it's about keeping something nice as much as having it not rot out. Anything mild steel with rust through like Swiss cheese. Just save up a few more bucks and snag something that'll last more than a year or two. Just my two cents. I'm from the Edmonton area so I know what salt and calcium chloride can do. Our highways are white with it in the winter.

    Tell me about it. TS headers maybe then.

  4. You're looking at the ones with real cats.

     

     

    Bad move if you really are from Canada. Pacesetters are mild steel and prone to rust, especially with our heavily salted and calcium chlorided roads.

    Im a student on a budget lol. and yes i am from Canada. I just was thinking about getting some cheap pacesetters because how shit the roads u wont be able to keep something that nice and i figured i could get away with wrapping them with exhaust tape.

  5. I can only tell you what I've found by searching: They're a cheap header/y-pipe made of stainless steel with fake cats that are actually resonators. They have an issue with the spark plug boots being real close to a couple of the tubes, but can be zip-tied out of the way.

    prob wont get that then lol. look at some cheap pacesetters
