I did the ceta mod with plasti dip. I like that it has some texture to it. I get compliments on it all the time.

the plasti-dip has a rubberized texture coating. dont think theres any way to get rid of it though.

it kinda looks like i sprayed a 2nd coat over some debree that might have blown on the panel in between coats? but its not cause i painted them in my garage with no wind/draft what so ever..

How Bout As Far As Going To Your Local Drive-thru Carwash? Or Even Washing it By Hand? Do You Skipp The PlastiDipp Parts Cuz I Can Only Imagine Going Over it With a MicroFiber towel to Dry it Would Prob Rubb It Off...?

Its actual liquid vinyl. It actually stands up to a lot of abuse and best part is you can just take it off and respray.

i painted my old wheels with some plasti-dip it lasted roughly 8 months before i sold the car and it still looked like the day i put it on... best part is it peels right off when you dont want it (sometimes it doesnt peel perfectly) but put some wax on then mask it and it will look great! it pretty much is fool proof!






hope this helps
