Has anyone peeled off their plasti diped items after one or two years after application?

I want to plastidip my emblems but im scared that it'll ruin the coating on the emblems after a year.

is this product really al that cracked up to be? hahah.

I had my plasti-dip on for almost a year and decided to take it off a couple of weeks ago. It will NOT ruin the emblem, if anything it'll protect it. I've noticed that the more layers the easier it is to peel it off. When I took mine off it was a PITA because I didn't put enough coats, so it peeled in pieces instead of peeling as a whole. IMO, I enjoyed it while I had it on.

Hope this helps. I am going to redo it now that I understand how to peel it off a little better. Slight learning curve the first time
