I can't remember who I saw post it, I think it was the user ZexGX with the pewter firebird with a raptor hood and swapped ls1 drivetrain. He plasti dipped his roof for the same reason and he said he ended up removing it because it was speeding up the bubbling issue. Which I would assume meant it was also visible on the dip itself.

Did the CETA mod tonight, for $10 (1 can and a roll of plastic to mask) you really cant go wrong. Will probably peel it off and do it again in the spring but for now it is good for me. It's pretty tricky to peel the tape and not mess up the dip patience is key and alway pull away from the dip if you give it a try.

How well does it hold up? I have heard mixed reviews and curious to how long something like this would last. I know it isn't a permanent deal but wanted to test some colors on my wheels. Just curious to how it holds up against the elements, on wheels, body, plastic whatever.

I sprayed my whole car 5 months ago. So far so good. But my car is garage kept and only driven maybe 2,000 miles a year. It has been washed numerous times. I've never used a pressure washer like I've seen in some of those youtube videos, just my garden hose on full blast. The only thing that I have had a problem with is the rocker panels from getting in and out of the car. If your leg brushes it a lot, especially wearing jeans, it will start peeling in that area. Other than that, I love how this plastidip paint job has turned out and would not hesitate doing it again. I think as long as you realize that it is not a permanent paint job, you will be very happy.

I did this back in september last year and I've hit it with the pressue washer at the car wash a half dozen times and lightly "scrubbed" with the foaming brush once or twice (as I was concerned of catching an edge) and aside from being dirty from all the nasty weather we have here lately it is holding up perfectly, I really need to hand wash the whole car and get an updated pic.

Did my sail panel, CETA, mirrors and emblems last summer.
I also did the wheels on my truck a couple years ago and they've held up pretty well. I tried it on the bumpers too but wasn't a big fan of how it looked.
