For a clean line, I suggest using the blue tape that says edge lock or something like that. Regular blue tape sucks imo and I have to touch up some parts. Keep some paint thinner handy just incase you mess up. You can dab a little on a cloth and wipe it right off if you have over spray somewhere.
I've tried to plasti dip it 3 times now and every time, no matter how much I spray (to peel it when it's wet) or how soon I try to peel the tape off after that, the edges lift so I just end up removing the whole thing rather than just having a ghetto looking paint job on it. I might just end up doing a CF wrap or flat black wrap on it, but we'll see.
