I like the idea that you can use the stuff as a temporary thing.

I used the spray in clear to coat and protect the plastic parts of the interior and help prevent scratches on heavy wear areas. I think it works great when you apply it on the rear quarters when drag racing or track days around the wheel wells.

Comes in yellow,black,blue,red,and clear... might have to try this. It would work great for long car rides, spray it on the front and no bugs

Import guys have been using this stuff for years. A lot of them use it on new cars because they're leased and the stuff needs to be removable. Some guy did his whole G35 in the stuff as an experiment (like a spray-on bra). Lasted a month or two before he removed it.

If you want it to be easy to remove, CLAYBAR, POLISH, AND WAX THE EXISTING PAINT FIRST!

No, you don't have to primer.

Mine stuck on great till I wanted to remove it myself.

Never got a chance to wash the car with it on though, mine was really textured cause I went too light though.

Just found this stuff myself. My buddy with a G8 told me about it.

Did under my t-tops with it so it's not all silver, turned out awesome

he told me the same thing about painting over it with regular paint to have any color you want and be able to remove it easily.

Heard it smooths out after you wash it, but never got to try it.

What do you mean under your t-tops?

Only parts on my car that are plastidipped are the rear side markers, key holes, and front nose emblem.

Sounds like this could be a good prank to play on someone too.

"Hey bro, I'm gonna spray paint your car."

"I'll kill you if you do."


...... "Oops"
