This video is still paying dividends! I'm literally researching this while in the parking lot of a body shop to quote painting the rails. Nope! $$$$'s vs. A case of plastic dip and a few hours work? And REMOVABLE?? Almost a "Well duh," of course PlastiDip. Thanks for the inspiration and 2yr followup for durability.👍

Plasti-dip was still looking good when we got rid of it last year. So after 2 years, still looks good. Although, we did not set anything on the rack so it worked well for us since we did not abuse it like others.

@RapidRalphsVehicleVlog
@RapidRalphsVehicleVlog Жыл бұрын
I have never tried to plastidip over a car with the PPF before. I would think t might not adhere to it. What you might do is tape off a test section, and see if it will stick or not to avoid from removing PPF if you don't have to. If it doesn't stick, then you might remove. Let me know if it works or not!
