And for brian h.. I want to start doing more of my car in plastidip but one question... How do u mask off but still do multiple layers.. Mask off one paint and immediately tear off tape, wait for it to dry and redo till u have enough coats... Orrrr what last thing im going to do is use a razor on the paint... I have enough issues with that...
Mask wide around the area that you're spraying. If there is a good division line (like along the edge of the bow tie), simply start peeling the stuff you don't want and the rest will remain. Or, where there are lines or gaps, use an exacto knife or single edge razor blade to get a fine edge cut. Of course, I wouldn't use that in the middle of a painted area, but it works well for around the edge of the bow tie and the like.
I painted both bow ties fully. Last week when I was spraying the front of my car, some of the plasti dip started to peel around the chrome border of the bow tie due to my sloppy first-time application of it. I ended up peeling the rest of it off exposing the chrome but leaving the gold insert covered with black. The rear bow tie, covered completely, is holding up well...but it doesn't face the same road hazards, wind and rain of the front the bow tie. When I get around to it, I'm going to peel the rest off the front bow tie and redo the job fully blacked out. Plasti dip is awesome for being able to redo less-than-perfect jobs.
