i just did this and it was aweful. i think it might have been too cold or something and it didn't spray out or go on very smooth then it started to run really badly. I couldn't find on the can if it needs to be a certain temperature so i took a chance with it being 30 degrees out because i'm too impatient to wait for warmer weather. luckily it really does peal right off. it took about 1 minute and came off almost in 1 piece then 2 more smaller pieces and its like it never happened.

I saw later on that it should be 50-70 degrees so im gonna try it again the 1st warm day we get.

The possible issue with Plasticoat could be that it may start to peel off when washing the area. :ack: So the advantage could also become a disadvantage

first real world application I can think of is when you're on a road trip or on teh track... spray some on.. do your thing.... when you're done.. strip it of..

Fastbird, picture looks great. What did you do to prep the area?

Sounds like a damn good idea

Wonder how carbon fiber would do or look??????

not a bad idea at all, but, just my 2 cents, it would need to be on other places on the car to balance out. still, I like the idea :thumbs:

I don't think that would be an issue at all. They just wrap it and then cut slits over the openings and fold it inside.

You could even use carbon fiber looking vinyl. Or any color for that matter.
