OK two things, newspaper your entire car, this **** gets everywhere.
And second, slather this on. Do 4 or 5 coats. If you put it on this it doesn't come off well. I have to redo my entire rear because of this. Just do yourself a favor and slather this on THICK. Also, I don't know who said it comes off easy, but it doesn't. I wanted to take this off my rear emblems to try again, and it doesn't come off the lettering easy. There are little black spots all over it that I can't get. I'm actually fairly angry at how not flawless this went considering how many people posted on here. I'm shocked no one was run into these issues yet. I honestly would just take it off if I thought I could. But since I don't think I can I'm going to coat over it thicker and hope it looks good.

Yeah you have to put it on really thick and let it dry completely before trying to pull it off. I had like 11 total coats on my door handles and it was super easy to peel off the next day.

I did 3 coats and it wasn't thick enough to stretch so I could pull it off. Hopefully my second attempt goes better. Still angry. Wish someone would have mentioned that lol.

Apparently plasti dip is considered a dangerous item so thats why it costs so much per can and costs a ton to ship it across.
Anyone have any knowledge/experience of shipping aerosol cans over? I couldn't even get a quote off the FedEx site. I might have to end up doing a bulk buy with some mates here, apparently one seller can do $25/can. Not sure if its worth doing at that price though. At this rate I think shipping an evo-r front lip will cost a truck load too |

Anyone know of any product that will disolve the plastidip so I can get it off? Want to try to get this foxed by the weekend, I have a WI Z meeting this weekend. Sucks enough I'm not getting my exhaust before then.

I heard WD-40 does the trick too.

Do like 7 or 8 thick coats around that area and just be gentle when you mess with them. I wrapped a cloth around my socket when I put the lug nuts back in and they were fine. And if it ever gets messed up you can just do them again

Update, so I used alchohol and some cotton balls and that seems to take it off pretty good. I swabbed almost the entire back of my car, it gets everywhere.
So for my second attempt I newspapered half my car. You may laugh, but trust me, it's necessary, I did it in an enclosed space with no wind and it still got all over the back of my car, little microscopic specs everywhere, I'm glad I caught it on the first coat on my first attempt. I just finished my last coat for this second attempt. I sprayed so much on it didn't even look like I was spraying anything on it was so black. If this isn't thick enough, it's just not going to work for me. SO wish me luck, I'm going to let it dry overnight so it hardens. I'll take it off tomorrow.
