That said, you don't NEED to claybar, but claybar, polish, and then wax prior to applying Plasti Dip helps a TON with removal. There are videos of this from the G35 experiment.
Well since i had 3 cans of plasti-dip laying around from my 1st attempt at plasti-dipping my C5 DD wheels a few months ago, i gave it another shot. This time i Plasti-Dipped the stock 10 spokes, i just have them laying around so why not see how my LE looks with all black wheels and give the wheels a protective coat at the same time. ill have some pics up tomorrow since it got dark on me after i got the wheels put on the car.

Just kidding, stuff is really easy to use, just make sure you do a little heavier coats than normal spray paint...that way it all comes off at once.
Also, if you do anything that has a screw (or lugnuts for wheels) make sure you don't spray in that area where it torques down or it'll rip everything off!
I did my rear side markers...this is what happened lol.
Was a good test run anyway haha.

Lol, bigger internet jokes than this have been pulled off, anythings possible. I grabbed a can at home depot right after the post, washed off a place on the fridge and sprayed an area with it. Got about 2 hours left till the recommended dry time of 4 hours on the can, we jumped the gun a tad and peeled some off, so far so good. I can't believe I never heard of this before.
I did blacked out the top part of the grill on my girlfriend and i's grocery getter civic
came out great and was easy to use!
