Great website I came across with some very good videos on applying Plasti Dip. There's a very nice gunmetal Plasti Dip that I hadn't seen before that he uses on a set of wheels. Check it out!

Not so sure about that..... Calipers do get pretty hot and there is a special paint made for them.

What if we don't like the look of it can we take it off?

Plasti-dipped my dash trim. Bought a can of yellow, thinned with naptha, popped out the panels, sprayed with a Preval spray bottle thingy then two coats of plasti-dip glossifier.

How well does it work on the actual body of the car? Any discoloration after removal?

Not that I've heard. It's just spray-on rubber; don't see why it should.

That trim looks awesome! Did you do the door panels as well? I thought about doing them but figured they'd get scratched by finger nails and stuff getting in and out of the car. Also thought about painting them but I'd be in the same boat.

I did plastidip my trim around my shifter yesterday and speedo bezel. Bezel didn't turn out as well though.
