He may of let it set to long. If you don't pull the tape of while its still wet it will mess up.

It's an aerosol spray that is a rubberized coating. If applied evenly and tape removed when still wet it places a rubberized coating over the paint. Easily removable when dry by peeling.... sometimes it's a little hard to remove in certain places. No one has reported it damaging the paint, and many have had successful mods with it.

Thanks to Stieger...

as you can see from the pictures....this stuff sucks! seriously, who wants to put something on your car that comes off/chips this easy...I see people saying "oh, i just touch up every once and awhile"....brand new car? touch ups every other week ..I guess everybody is different.

FYI, don't try to remove this stuff in the cold. Heat it up with a heat gun first then start pealing, and it will come off in clean strips.

Who are you quoting on this if you don't mind me asking? I plasti-dipped a few parts on my car and have never needed to touch them up. My front bumper under the grill is plasti-dipped and my car is my daily driver - this piece has never needed touching up. Also you ask "who wants to put [plasti-dip on their car]?" Well, you did.

I'm not sure what happened to yours but the stuff peels off easily by hand. It takes a little more work when its cold out. If you have little spots of over spray that easily comes off with clay barring. If you can start to peel an edge off, you can gently pull it up at an angle and peel off large sheets of the stuff.
