We're still aiming for 9 AM this Saturday, but if it is raining we will have to reschedule.

Yea I peeled off my real valence because I had second thoughts. The great thing about plastidip is the ability to simply peel it off.

Roof will be really easy to do, fangs will take the most part masking off.
If you guys want to see the video of me peeling it off, PM me your email and I can forward it to you, it is in .MOV format.

Just Plasti dip my rims couple days ago. Now that I know the car looks good with black wheels, I can start saving my $$$ for some new rims

Hey Ron, thanks for emailing me that video, it looks pretty cool. But I think Im gonna hold off, I wanna see if you guys are still happy with this stuff, and it doesnt mess up your paint in anyway, once people start removing it after a few months or longer period of time.

What parts of your car are you thinking of using it on? Your options are kind of limited with having a black car.

I could do the lower rear where the exhausts are, and the front fangs in red, i think that would look pretty hott.

Did you buy clear coat spray or did you buy clear plasti dip? There is a big difference between the two. We tried putting clear coat on plasti dip this past Saturday and it makes it MUCH harder to remove. It's not impossible, but will take a lot longer and be more of a PITA. The clear coat will make it look more glossy, but don't expect anything amazing IMO. If your going to try though, definitely let us know how it goes.

Also, clear plasti dip is just that. It's not a clear coat, just plasti dip rubber with no color to it. If you put that over the white plasti dip, it won't do anything but add another layer of rubber on top and will probably make the white look worse. Before you do any of this, do what I did. Test it out on something other than your car first. After that, test it on a small part of your car. You could try doing like one spoke of one wheel or something. This way you can find out what works and what doesn't. It would be a lot easier to pull the plasti dip off one spoke than an entire wheel.

Good luck with the project man

That would be cool

An idea Amar had was to do the side mirrors if anyone is interested in that.
