Plati Dip? WTF?
Thanks man, it took almost 4 to do the explorer.
I'm thinking about hitting up Home Depot and/or Lowes tonight to make some matte ghost-stripes on the Raptor hood. Hope they have it. If not, I may make some black stripes.
As far as getting a clean line for the stripes, I've read that the trick is to spray a coat, wait a few seconds, spray another coat, etc. Do 3-5 wet coats, and when done with the last coat, carefully (slowly) pull the tape off while it is still wet. This prevents it from sticking to the tape and pulling away from the paint.

Lol I never thought about using this stuff on a car.. I race nitro trucks,cars,buggies and we've been plastidippin stuff like servos and all electric stuff.. Back then it only came in blue and you had to mix it yourself and DIP whatever you were coating in it.. Hence the plasti-dip name. I'm gonna have to pick me up some.

I remember plastic dipping my HPI Savage to take it mudding right after rain
to be honest it came out like crap, I got home and got eager to just start spraying so I went at it without any practice at all on anything else. I could have gotten it really smooth and even but you can see everywhere I started and stopped spraying and got lazy. but oh well! it looks better than silver how it was.
