I bet it would come off really easy in the car wash. The first time I washed my car after plasti-dipping my trim, I was in a self-serve stall that had a pressure sprayer with warm water. I think the heat helped soften it up, and the pressure grabbed at the edges and accidentally lifted up a couple inches of my window trim. I was able to press back down and it was fine when it dried.

I vinyl decal mine, it was a bit shinier than that black plastic, but everything is fine, washed it in touchless, and with the wand/brush, no peeling nothing.

while on the subject of the nose ring.
does anyone know if its possible to use some of the evo X grill parts so that we could get those crossbeam vents? would be benificial for those running the evo X or larger fmic's.

Did you just rip it off?

. I had gone through multiple, multiple automatic car washes and haven't had any problems with it peeling. I'm sure the cold didn't help it being so brittle either.

I'm up in wisconsin.. literally just finished my chrome ring 30 minutes ago.. so i'm just letting it dry overnight and putting it back on the the morning.
The stuff goes on easy.. didn't have to sand or anything.. just cleaned it with some dawn and warm water and dried it off with a microfiber towel.. and gave it 3 coats, each sprayed about 20 minutes apart.. turned out great and looks a lot like matte black, super sexy.
If anyone plans on blacking out the front end, I highly recommend using this stuff!

i was wondering..... since plasti dip can be an "overcoat" kinda, can we plasti dip on some rear spats on our side skirts? LOL i know it sounds crazy but wouldn't it be kinda like buying those CF side spats, least expensive and it still protects since it has a rubbbery texture to it.
