ok so just to make this clear i recently primed and painted my front grill, but it is already being chipped up and pissing me off so im going to plasti dip. However i dont not need to strip the paint off or prime before i do it? Does platidip hide imperfections?

There are some things I want to do to my car with plasti dip but I have read not to use tape for Lines because of how it sticks to tape and won't peel off perfectly.... What can you use to create hard lines then? What if I over spray just a little...what can I use to wip[e it off?

Please answer me this : If you want to paint a section that you taped off you will have to use a razor along that edge so when you peel the tape off you dont peel the Plasti Dip off? Example : If I want to paint a big letter M on my hood I would need to trace the tape line when its done with a razor so when I need to peel the tape off when it drys it wont peel the Letter M I just made? Not that I would do that but there is a few spots I want to do and It would be hard to trace with a blade when its done.
And to bad they dont make this stuff in a clear color as that would be great to use as a invisible bra that is simple to apply and remove wehn needed unlike the expensive film a pro has to install over and over.

I was just thinking this morning that if you tape it off then remove the tape as soon as you spray it then your line will me there and it wont be dry yet so it won't peel off.... this will be time sonsuming as you need three coats so you will tape and untape 3 times but if any of us have compaints than we should pony up the dough and send it to abody shop... at 6 dollars a can IM not gonna complain.... and they do make it in clear.

What color did you use to plastidip, just a regular matte black? I really like the way yours turned out with the chrome lip still there.
Does the chrome piece above the license plate come off?
