I just peeled it off my front fangs from being on for about a year and i had no problems with peeling it off.

yea it does. i made the mistake of trying to clean something off my rear valance with it and it messed it up pretty bad.

Hey guys:
I did mine with different color. I know it may look a bit weird. But I just want to match with the interior color. :tup: Doing the door handle paint next with other product :tiphat: here is some snap shot I took after the job is done. Not the best. I think it will not hurt if I peel it off :hello:

It looks good on the 370z part in my opinion but no so much on the burger. Do this, try and paint the words nissan in black and keep the red, I think that will serve you better. Def. looking forward to the door handles I hope it holds up well.

:iagree:

Or, you could exacto the Nissan portion off and let the silver through. I think the black would be a better option though.

JuSt did the emblems on my brilliant silver z and it turned out awesome!!!

lol, i like your black emblems and one side of your car. :tup:

TongMan 08-09-2011 02:05 PM

Haha...thanks. I wonder which side.

Synack 08-09-2011 02:31 PM

You sure are brave, I'd never do this with the emblems STILL on the car.

Sure. Check back in 20 minutes.

Synack 08-09-2011 03:54 PM

We need to get a list of stuff that we can spray. I'm about to go to TOWN on my car. LOL

V8Killer 08-09-2011 04:16 PM

Did you just spray over the key hole on the door? I know we never use it but I was just curious?

Yep. Just sprayed the whole handle.

For Synack. It's a little dusty from a windy night last night (yes my car has to sleep outside until I can sell some of the big stuff taking up my side of the garage).

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...dip_handle.jpg

And now here's the rest of the stuff I plasti-dipped today. Did the Z emblems and peeled off the area covering the light portion just leaving the Z and outer ring black...

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p..._emblems_3.jpg

And did the front fangs which turned out ok. Up close the edges didn't do so well and it looks like a poor masking job but it turned out good enough for now. I will eventually switch to a better solution.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ip_fangs_1.jpg

And the whole package...

I use the key hole all the time to open and close the windows.

Liquid_G 08-09-2011 10:07 PM

Has anyone tried using this on anything under the hood? I'm thinking about like doing the P/S reservoir and coolant overflow tank with this.

a quick open is to hold down the open and lock button together at the same time rolls both windows down.

What about inside the handle? Did you end up holding the handle open while you sprayed the inside of it? Everything looks great man I can't wait to get home and try this stuff. Now is there something that we can spray to give it a bit of a gloss shine to it? There has to be a clear coat of this stuff right?

Ahhh yea son, why not, I can just take it off! Stuff is awesome :)

boomboom 08-10-2011 02:19 AM

Can the aerosol be ordered in yellow?

TongMan 08-10-2011 02:20 AM

Many people use it on their wheels. They hold up very well.

boomboom 08-10-2011 02:45 AM

Will it hold up if used on engine parts? or does one need high temp paint for that

Good thing it peels off! If it gets crazy around here then I'll just rip mine off and go back to stock!
