hey guys, did this to my car. with both eyes closed, i braved putting flat black spray paint without masking, and holy crap. IT WORKED!! the overspray peeled up beautifully, and with some mcguiars spray detailer, got the remaining items that did not "peel off".
the emblems were cut nicely. it hugs the curves, so when you peel it up, it will not take it off the emblem. you are also able to peel up the middle with ease. did front, and all back emblems.
next, i did the rims. my god, it worked! overspray lifts off of tires easily, and gives it a nice boost if you clean and spray the inside of the wheel.
all in all, the project turned out great. thanks for the heads up on this!

Whats a good product to use to get this plastidip off. Not from the actual parts that i painted but from little bits of plastidip that the wind managed to get all on the side of my car. (by little i mean alot of little bits), rubs off with my thumb with alot of pressure but also manages to rub off my fingerprint. No bueno. Any suggestions?

^ for the newbs, that is for RIMS, not EMBLEMS lol dont uses the black spray paint!
Xclusive_40thAnvRx8 : Plastidip is a rubbarized paint formula, it maintains elasticity. So when your bored of it, take your finger nails, and peel that s*&^ off
Hope you learned something.
