    I've gotten some of it on myself when I was painting my shift panel. it stays on somewhat but my hands were fairly sweaty from the heat. Derp was easy to take off, but also didn't stay on on to well.

    I would say that you would need to shave before you do this. Plast-dip is easy to peel from smooth surfaces, but if you have body hair that is set in the derp, it might be a little painfull to get off. Think body sized band-aid.

    Seriously be careful. Your body will not be able to sweat and therefore cannot regulate heat. No point in cooking yourself or stroking out.

    Anyone ever do white badges on a Black truck? Looking to see something different. Saw the red above, not bad, but reds not for me. Most likely I'll just go blacked out, but just wondering what white, or blue, or some other colors would look like. Maybe pink!

    plasti-dipped some stripes yesterday. I pulled the front ones off today to redo them a little differently. I'll post pics when they're done.

    there's been one, it was a white ac I think. The guy did it with the rattle can. There was also a video on YT (hopefully it's still up), someone peeling off the dip from his roof due to seeing the over spray lines here and there when he used the rattle can version.

    I see a lot of people refer to "rattle can." I understand this means your typical spray can but do a lot of people use a different kind of plastidip? Are there better uses for spray can and better uses for the other type?

    I just plasti dipped my wheels and they are already peeling! This stuff is frustrating. Im thinking about just spray painting it (with actual paint) and saying fuck the silver.

    For those of you who are worried about how easy or not easy it is to remove this stuff I recorded a short video of me removing the tan plasti-dip from my sport wheels.

    The dip held up fine, but I decided I didn't like the tan enough to keep it.
