Baby sharks attacked mine also lol, it only took me about 15 min. I'll redo in the morning

it might help keep the baby sharks away to use some rubbing alcohol to take the wax off where the hood spears want to be......this way you get better adhesion of the plastidip.

Just my 2 cents.

That might help a little bit, but whats causing this is the the plasti-dip drying to the tape. When this happens and you go to peel the tape back the edges of the plasti-dip will come up with the tape. Its best to spray the interior design then beef up the edges real quick the quick peel the tape back before the plasti-dip dries to it. Alcohol, like with most other things, will surely help

Wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if this will look good on IBM. It might though.

I just read they have clear plastidip now too. Clear Bra alternative? I might try it... I wonder if it comes out matte though. That might look funny, since the finish on the car is so glossy.

Don't waste your money on clear plasti-dip. It's impossible to work with. Bubbles and ripples, does not look good at all in my opinion.

Painting over plasti-dip makes plasti-dipping your rims pointless. Your wheels will behave the same as if you just painted them.
