IT peels off which is nice but i bought blue just to see how it looks and with one coat it just looks black haha. More coats would probably turn out better.
Thanks guys

Thats very true. I have a friend that works at a tint and vinyl shop and I've just seen first hand what it looks like when a wrap gets peeled off. Lots of residue from the glue. idk, my car only has 40k on the clock and the paint is immaculate. I didnt want to chance it. I may peel the white off this winter and dip it a different color. I really like the white tho.

(Widow Maker was also the nickname for one of my shotguns before I ended up selling it lol).
haha thanks man. Ive kind of been whoring the car off a lot the last little while. I really like how it turned out

The possibilities are endless with Plasti-dip in my opinion. I like to change things up a lot so I've got so many ideas running through my head I may end up being known as the guy with a Trans Am that has a different color combo every couple months haha Im going to be dipping the wheels on my dads Maserati here in a few weeks. The color should be killer

The white looks great. I typically thing Pasti-Dipped cars look like crap, but your car looks very good. I think a lot of it has to do with it being white. I've seen blue and black and wasn't impressed at all. I'd leave it white if I were you. Very nice looking F-Body.

Thanks man. I will leave it for awhile. I've got another color in mind that would look killer.

The white looks good Widow Maker. Also mentioned on this thread about Eastwood's Elastiwrap and today I saw Duplicolor has a product as well, "custom wrap". I have used plasti dip on my other car's emblems, no plans to use on my Trans Am.

Using a clothing steamer has been found very beneficial when removing a stubborn wrap.
