Yeah! I bought 6 in anticipation of it taking a lot. We did several really thin coats and that seems to hold up really well so far.

No glossifier. Home Depot didn't have any and I actually preferred the flat look anyway.

Haha! It's actually 10x easier than you think it is. Give it a shot!

Thanks so much! I'm so in love with it. Is that wrong?

I just taped off a square around the lettering and sprayed directly on the paint and made sure to get all the angles of the letters. After 4 or 5 thin coats, I let it dry. Then I just peeled it all off and it cut around the letters perfectly. I used a toothpick for center of the A, R and O. Several people have mentioned the spoiler and bezels. I'm not 100% sold on that look yet, but I'm sure the plasti-dip bug will bite again soon

Thanks! I actually bought the car with the tint on it from the previous owner, so I have no clue. Sorry!

I go back and forth with the bezels. I'm not sure I love the look of it, but I probably will end up dipping them at some point. Painting my brake calipers red is next on my to do list!

Careful when you take those off. Those clips holding the bezels on can sometimes break easily. One snapped on me when I popped them out for some touch-up.

Just spray them while they are on, it will peel right off the taillight at bumper... make sure you get 6 coats minimum to get it to peel right
