I need to re do my roof and it took a whole 2 minutes to pull it off lol. It's super easy and as long as the dip is thick it will come off nicely

that is because it was there for a couple of hrs or days,

i have plastic dip at 6 coats for a lil over 1yr... and ohh boy...

taking it of... sure was NOT!!! fun :mad:

If done right, the majority of cars don't have any issues during removal, even after longer periods of time.


Still surprised people are just now learning about plastidip and that you can do whole cars. :hipsterstatus:

This is IMO for the owners of some exotic cars, who would want to keep their original paint, but change the color. Wrapping the car is more expensive alternative. But once again IMO save couple more $$$ and get a paintjob,if your car is faded or whatever. This plasti dip could last as long as if it's scratched,chipped or something, it will not look right anymore, especially if you completely changed the color of the car

^This. Plus, Plastidip is good for a quick fix and small parts and pieces. It does peel and pit as you drive your car with the road grim and rocks and what not. Igor is right, save the extra money and just paint the car.
