I was concerned at first too, as you can see my paint is in great shape, and it's very important to me. The over spray will wipe off with hot water. Plus, just mask off extra far and you'll have no issues with it. It looks AMAZING and is very easy to do. Do it don't over think it and you'll be very happy with results as I was. The was i scrapped off the inside of H's is with a straw (kind that comes with Air cans). Once it starts peeling its very easy, its like peeling a sunburn lol.

about 2 coats. thats all i did. i actually just sprayed then waited 2 dry then removed sidemarkers then rubbed off the excess from fenders and re-installed sidemarkers. no harm to paint.

I too heard great things about plasti dip. Went to my local Lowes hardware store, picked up 5 cans, and this is the result:















It's been almost 4 weeks and nothing is peeling or fading. If you're unsure about a several hundred dollar powdercoat job, 25 dollars of this stuff is definitely a viable alternative. You can always peel it off if you get tired of it too.

^Not feeling it. Just get smoked side markers if you want the look.

Plasti dip is fine for emblems and such but not that.

Well I will be painting my entire car flat white this weekend, I will get pictures up as soon as it is finished to show everyone what it looks like. I am doing it simply because I have nothing better to do and I want a white car again. I hope it turns out well, if it looks like ass, then it just peels right off! And as far as my previous post, the plasti dip people say when doing a large surface you should do thin mutiple coats instead of thick So I will see how well that works out. I'll keep everyone updated when I finish it.
