Plast-dip might be an improvement in durability over my infiniti black paint

Those pics made me realize how much I love white on these cars.

Good job man!
Can you peel it off the paint easily? In other words, if you blacked out your lower rear bumper with Plasti-Dip, can it be peeled off easily without damaging the underlying paint?

quick question. I know you can peel off the plasti-dip with you paint the rear emblems. Can you peel it off if you plasti-dip the roof too?

IIRC, PD is rated up to 200 degrees.

You can peel it off any *smooth* surface. On rough or sanded down surfaces, you can still peel it, it's just not as easy.

OP, looks good! Plasti-dipped roof, too, right? (I noticed some high areas in that photo you posted).

Can one lay down a layer of clearcoat on top of the plasti-dip to enhance gloss or is that a no-go?
