Default plastic dip questions....

I have seen alot of threads where you gys have put this all over the car, rims, and whatever else you can find. I was thinking of doing a design on the car for a track day and I am wondering if this peals off just like a sticker and does not damage the paint.

This track day will be in July, so Its gonna be in 100+ degrees in sure all day long...Anyone see any issues with it?

thanks

i lol'ed @ your comment on "the car, wheels, and whatever else you can find"

i'd go with what he recommended here. the plasti-dip would work, and from what i can tell after ~15k miles its still safe on the clear coat, but it'd be a headache for what you're suggesting unless you do want semi-permanent protection.
