Failed with the plasti dip today, did not peel off well at all, and will have to go buy some tweezers to finish getting it all off then Ill try again. I think I may not have done enough, as it was very thin.

take your time....i did a total of 4 coats and i waited 45min between each coats. Took me a good 5hrs for the whole thing but most people here just over an hr. I want it done right the first time so I just took my time and not rushing it. Mine is still holding strong even after power washing my car today.

Before
After
I am extremely pleased with the results ....more importantly the price. I am also gonna do the license plate frame and i still gotta do the front emblem. This is also one more piece of the puzzle as I continue to b1ackout the car.

I tried to do my front without removing the grille, not much luck.
Taped off the entire vented area, and put back stops behind it, when i peeled it off there was still some peeling leaving chrome showing. Sigh
Ive tried many many light coats, and some heavy, with 5+ hours to dry. I think i am just an r tard

Ha... Was walking up to my car, shaking the can, about to apply my 3rd coat of plast dip when a cop rolled by slowly eyeballing me. Started sprayig, and he made a u-turn and rolled by again . I wonder what was going through his mind as he watched a 20 year old spraying something from a can onto a car covered with newspapers hahahaha
