I've never actually used plastidip. How easily does it peel off? Cause I've kinda been thinking about doing my emblems but I want to be able to undo them easily if I don't like the way it looks

Everything I've done its peeled off easy. Only thing is be careful when peeling off things like emblems cause sometimes they snap easy.

It's funny that you should mention this because my WJ is white and the emblems are starting to loose their chrome finish. I was thinking about painting them without taking them off but sitting there with model airplane paint and an artist's brush sounds like too much work. Also, I'd like to paint my plastic side trim and bumpers. Rustoleum has a new foam applicator bottle but it's only 4 oz. and it seems like it won't go far. Spray would work, but for fear of overspray, it would look like a Fedex package after all the masking is done. Taking all this stuff off for painting is not an option because I'm way too lazy for that.

I personally took mine off, but IN THEORY you should be able to spray it on and peel off the overspray. You may need some assistance from a small exacto-knife or the likes to get a clean peel. I have not tried this though, just what I've read.

This and the additional videos showed me this is the easiest way to do my bumpers and side trim. Thanks for that!
