    I took a nice xacto knife and scored the edges where the tape is, then peeled REALLY slowly. Came off nice and clean. :alien:

    sorry about the quality these are taken with my blackberry.

    The only issue i had was that if you mask it and and paint it after only a few minutes the "paint" starts to stick to the tape and you can start to peel off the new coat when the tape comes off. so to get around this remove the top mask of tape right after you spray. as soon as you are done. and put down a fresh later of tape for the next coat. i learned this the hard way.

    Looks good on GG. I just did mine yesterday and had to go around the edges with a razor. It wasn't perfect but you can cut away the excess pretty easily. Very very worth it.

    Did 5 Coats on mine, about 4 really thick coats..and then just 1 spray over at the end. Seems very easy to clean, just make sure you mask the car up good. I kind rushed it a bit the first time and a piece of tape got stuck to the plasti dip and it ripped some off while i was removing the tape. So i took it all off and redid it. Took me about another 3-4 hrs (of waiting for it to dry in between coats..) [​IMG]

    I didnt do a "Full" blackout. I left the silver logo and the silver border. Thats just a personal preference tho. Might black it all out next weekend, might leave it not sure tho.

    guess im kinda late with this post :oops:

    Haha no dude never too late. But I'd get that chrome around the top blacked out. You can leave the Mitsu logo but the rest has to go :p

    We did our Chrome portion this past weekend, follow the directions, works Great. How are people finding plasti-dip holds up to Road Debries and being Washable for bugs?
