    With the plastidip being fully reversable, why not? You don't like it, take it off.


    I have not had a drink in 2 months, so...

    I always get extra supplies. Doesn't hurt to have some extra's in the garage, but it sucks to run out of something when your working.

    You WILL NOT be able to "just pull it off". I use this stuff all the time. It's an awesome product and one of the best things about it is that it sticks to everything. But, if you f-it up, don't expect to peal it off, it doesn't work like that

    Ditto. One of the problems I have seen is that it doesn't always peel off as easy as people think. If you end up liking it, you have to watch it because I have seen it chip. You can probably put a clear coat or some type of other sealant to protect it. Vinyls are more expensive, but if it doesn't work well, I would say go there. Good luck and show pics when completed! :)

    ok. well it says that you can peel it off? so why would it not peel off? idc if it takes more than a little bit of effort to take it off. but i just wanna make sure its not permanent

    i think... he means taking it off of wood. cuz thats what i saw he does his speaker rings with... and im talking about hard smooth plastic and metal... big difference. I think thats what he means. plus i think he is talking about the actual cans of dip.. and i am talking about the spray cans.

    *** I HAVE NOT USED IT BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE *******I have just watched about 5 videos, the plasti dip is very hard to take off when it is sprayed on wood clothe anything that involves non smooth surfaces. When sprayed on paint alot of the users said that it goes on very smooth and it comes out very clean and removal of it is time consuming but they all show that it can just be peeled right off. But for someone who offroads it can chip off very easily so you may have to redo it if you have alot of thing hitting your wheels

    I used that stuff on some D-rings that hung on my rear bumper of my jeep.

    THe stuff doesn't hold up. It'll peel off and look like shit. I ended up peeling all of it off completely.
