Here's some more reading and pics of the stuff in action.

This guy actually did his entire G35 in plasti dip and rode around in it for a while before peeling it off.

We can do it outside as long as the weather is nice and sunny to help dry the stuff off or we can wait until he gets back so we can use the shop. Your call.
Masa / SolidKatfish anyway I can get to use your shop for doing this or the entire car ?

Thanks,

I wouldn't mind working this out with you but don't know if the whole car can be done unless you come really early. The shop doesn't have the best ventilation as me and Masa experienced that day.

Depending on the weather when I get out of work today I might try my luck on the rear valance. I will post pics.

The hardest part is trying to figure out how to leave the paint with a clean cut edge. When you start pulling the painters tape off it likes to take the paint with. I have a few ideas that I'm going to look into.
