Plasti Dipped my hood

Plasti dip will cover her up nicely lol.

plasti dip comes off with no issues and no damage to the paint.

Eh... That's debatable. I have heard stories on forums for other vehicles of it taking the clear coat off when removed. Maybe the Ford paint doesn't have this problem, but I don't think that statement is valid as a blanket statement.

I've heard that too, but according to most of the posts, it depends on the condition of the paint and the prep before. Googled and there are a few stories, a few. And most of them stated that the car has been repainted. One guy tried to remove it with a power washer. It shouldn't take the clear off of a brand new car or a car 2-3 years old.

Another edit: here is a video of a guy taking bright green plasti dip off of his Acura RSX. No issues.

the older it is and the thinner its applied the harder to remove.

Looks good, interested in seeing how it holds up

I'm wanting to do this to my hood. Should I retape it every layer I spray?

Quick update: still holding on strong, of course I did a few layers.

As for retapping- no.. I highly suggest you tape, spray the tape lines and pull the tape as soon as it starts to dry. When I was spraying, it stuck to the tape and after I pulled the tape off (after it was dry) some pulled off with it. I had to retape about an inch down and respray

Looks really good by the way!

Thanks. The lines aren't clean but it's not noticeable until you look at it close up. When it gets warmer, I'm going to get some flat green camo spray and respray (with the black layer still on I think)

I'd consider doing matte black plastidip on my fender flares if they make it in matte black.
