    Nicholas cage was in a movie that had that kind of deal going on. he drove a white minivan with a big ass remote control gun in the back. he painted it black, killed like the president or something, took the van to the car wash and sprayed all the black off...

    will plasti-dip always be removable or will there be a point where its been there long enough and be hard to get off?

    for example: i want to plasti-dip the roof and possibly the hood of my truck. and if i don't like it in a year or two, will it be a bitch to get off?

    the can doesn't go that far into detail with my question. this question was for members who have had something external, plasti-dipped for about a year or more then removed it or had to remove it.

    Anything is removable with the right chemicals, but no I don't you'll have a problem removing it even without them.

    Well I finally descided to do my lower valance and get rid of the nasty huge scratch in it. Got the first coat on, and I cant freakin wait to see it.
    Any tips for me.

    And do you guys think I should put a clear coat on it? it will be a gloss....
    :D

    Plasti dip with no clear coat. Make sure you cut it with a razor or it will peel when you remove the tape

    well, i have never clear coated plasti dip before, so i dont know what will happen. i would imagine it would make it harder to take off down the road if you wanted to remove it. i dont know if it will even stick properly. its a rubberized paint and i know paint doesnt stick to rubber for very long so i dont think its a good idea
