Plastidip explanation

Plasti-dip is temporary and pretty easy to remove as long as you apply a thick enough coat. It's basically rubberized spray paint, so a clean application should peel right off.

This. Though as I've learned the hard way, if the plasti dip is in an area that gets a lot of heat it gets harder to take off. Was trying to take it off my wheels, but some parts of it would not peel off easily. Gonna try to use goo gone or something to take it off. Planning on using paint this time around on my wheels and it should come out much better looking than before.

As far as overspray is concerned, if you mask the areas off properly it shouldn't be an issue. The way to do the emblems is to leave some area around them when your masking off. Then you can start peeling from the area that was taped off and the plasti dip should come off cleanly around the edges of the emblems.
