Plasti-Dip, why?

I've never used/seen it on cars, that I'm aware of. I like the idea of doing it up front for a vacation trip. Does it really come off easy, without any prep or changes to the paint? Can you tell it was on there, after removal?
Anyone? Seriously asking here, thanks.

They have saved the doors from countless encounters with "the stupid people' that fling the doors of their cars open out in public - and it is even surmised that the BSM's may have a positive affect on the flow of the air down the side of the car.
So I just claim they are there for aero these days

Edit: I found it here. I take it that you mean the clear correct?

I see that Summit Racing carries it.

I did the same thing on my Chevy truck. My red vette has black hash marks and I thought it would look cool to have matte black hashes on my black truck. I didn't want to spend the money on the ones that Ive got on the vette so I used the PD. It looks awesome.

I'd love to hear/see how it looks and works out for you. Please let me/us know.

Why not? As much as people think that Corvettes are something rare/special they are not. Dont get me wrong I love my vette and other C5-C6's but they by far dont get put in a catagory with a ferrari, and the only porcshe Id put it in is maybe a low end carrera or boxter.
I plan on plasti-dipping my rear facia (eventually). Just because I can remove it when I decide to sell the car if the buyer doesnt like it.
Where I live I see more vettes around then 3rd-4th gen camaros. I was never even really a fan of vettes when I had my Turbo Iroc. I just though whatever another Vette.
But to each their own. In the end I drive mine everyday so to me its nothing special. If I bought it BRAND NEW Maybe I would think otherwise But I only paid 12K for it.

Wow... For a second I agreed with you until you put the Vette in the same category as a Boxster. I will tell you right now that the Vette is WELL beyond a Boxster. And there's really NOTHING special about a Porsche until you buy the super expensive ones (like the Carrera GT and the GT2/3) in my very honest opinion.

I do wish I understood what 'established standard' or rating system those who are comparing are using for a reference.
