Peeling it off is about as easy as it gets

If peeling it off isnt working, and youre having to scratch at it just to get little bits off, you can try spraying more on plastidip on first. It peels better with more coats. I found out on accident that pb blaster dissolves the stuff slowly, if it sits on the plastidip. Not sure how well that would work for you.

Use sticker remover from advance. Spray it all over, let it soak, and use something like a drivers license to scrape it off. Worked well for me.

+1 for spraying another coat, you could also try using a heat gun to help it peel up.
