I started to peel one of them the other day while on the car, realized it was going to take some serious effort, so i stopped..

But yes, the less you spray, the harder it is to remove.
I heard wd40 somehow breaks down the plastidip you might want to give that a try.

sorry if this has been asked before but how long should you wait before removing the masking tape.

I did the rear valance thing today and while removing masking the dip came right off with the masking. Ending up taking it all off, it was a complete waste of time

Same thing happened to me the first time... You need to do 3-4 coats quickly. With 1-2 minutes between coats, On the last coat, get it as wet as you can without it running. Then pull the tape off right away. My 2nd attempt turned out perfect, smooth finish that looked like satin paint. In my profile there's a pic of my fangs...
Doing door handles & emblems are much easier. You mask off a bigger area than what you're spraying. And just peel it off the paint. Then it tears or breaks at the gaps or seams around whatever you've sprayed.

Yeah I feel ya... It kept me from redoing it for awhile too. Then a buddy of mine said he'd help. It does make it easier too, if you have someone to help you peal it off.

A dry micro fiber towel works pretty good.

After thinking about it some more couldnt you also just spray more layers on. Let it dry. Then peel it off? I really wanna do my tailights but would like to be able to revert them to stock if i needed to

You could do that for sure. The thicker, the easier...
