I've heard you need to lay the plastidip on really thick in order for it to peel easily, but I don't know for sure. IMO painter's tape would be a surer bet, albeit more expensive.

 

The dip would hold up better than tape to rain but I would feel odd spraying my car like that even though it does peel off.

 

I would be worried about it pulling up the paint when removing it in any weak areas or especially any areas with rock chips or scratches. Knowing how easily the paint on my roadster peeled, I'd stick to the gentler painters tape or bra option.

 

yup or you gonna be rubbing the **** out of the Z to get it off...


like glue on teh fingers

 

There's a G37 who couldn't get it off very easily and used a pressure cleaner.... hilarity ensued.

 

i saw that on the forums a while back....you cant fix stupid.

 

Like everyone said, use Painters tape instead

<- Hates Plastidip crap

 

^ Hater.

 

A bra is easier and works better IMO.

 

Bras are ugly IMO. I'd personally use tape, but whatever's easier for you to apply and remove would be the clear choice.

 

I prefer my car to be naked.....

 

tape THEN plasti dip..

lol. ftw.

 

How many of you that voted tape, have actual hands on experience with applying, living with and removing PD??

Not "my friend told me..."

 

^^ word haha.

i cant even get blue tape to stick to itself let alone anything catching wind lol.. i see pics of it all the time on bumpers, but i cant beleive that stuff stays on driving.

Porsche GT3 RS guys use plasti dip spray all the time on track days on rocker edges wheels and front splitters.. thers some write ups on it out there too.. said it gave better rock chip protection that the vinyl they had been using.

money/cool/raceworthy factor:
Porsche>350z

just sayin..

 

You do this on a long road trip and your front clip will look like mine.........not pretty. Sucks that the paint sucks so bad on Z's. My car is only 7 months old and it's paint looks far worse than my Jeep that has 100k road miles, and a flat rock catching grill.

This is probably the only time I would say plastidip might have a use, but put it on thick!

 

I've had no problem with tape sticking to my bumper... ever.

 

You can be creative with Painters Tape too:

***** anyone?

 

Lmao... That's funny as hell.

 

nice prank wais

 

OP - Of all the applications of Plastidip, that is actually pretty clever. On my last road trip I used painters tape and it worked out pretty well, so I'd probably still go that route though.
