Ok the only thing I noticed was to keep tire shine off the rims. My budy did mine and left a little on the rim and it went through the plasty dip. Dam

How long do I wait to peel off the tape?

I also realized I might have to take it off and reapply later cause I got bubbles in one corner :(

You dont want to wait till its dry, remove the tape when it looks like its kinda tacky and wont run/ drip. Hopefully you did hit it to much so it runs. Main thing is if you wait till its dry, it may pull off as you remove the tape.

Test run number 1 was a fail. Didn't apply enough layers so the edges looks weird when I removed the tape. There are bubbles. 1 area looks like it was dripping.

I've never used spray paint ever so not bad for my first try though. I'll have to try again on Friday.

Ya cool thing about this stuff is you can pull it right off if you mess up and try again. Really cool for a non perm solution.

The Dark Knight · 05-04-2011, 02:04 PM

Yeah. From far...you can't tell where I screwed up lol...I love plastidip!

ORANGA2D · 05-04-2011, 04:22 PM

hoffmk2003 · 05-04-2011, 08:16 PM

I just bought home depot out of plastidip(5 cans) I'm going to try to do my drag rims if I have enough.

Can't complain for the price!

nice one, i ordered 1 can to try it on an original bowtie for the heritage grill, if this looks nice and professional I also will put that stuff on my wheels

I decided to be the guinea pig and spray some on my front spoiler of my gfx. It dried almost in 5min (I live in a desert) and after it dried it peeled of EASY. Left no damage to the paint. It stretched just like latex and left some residue. The reside came off without a hitch with some goo gone. I'm sure something mild like detail spray may take off the residue. Even the overspray droplets came off easily. Think of this stuff like elmers glue from elementary school. Gets all over and makes a mess (if you let it) but peels right off after it dries. Look at my pics. After this test I feel confident enough to spray it on anything.

For those who don't want to pay for clear bra I'm willing to bet this will work well for temporary purposes if you spray down the front end of your car to prevent road chips!
