How to remove plasti dip

[onsite]

Well, previous owner put plasti dip on my now rig. However it is not peeling off. Any thoughts experience or idea on how to remove it? Trying not to mar the paint although i need to polish the area. Lucky me its on the rear emblem and surrounding area [emoji16]

Tar-x will take it off

IPA in higher concentrations will remove it.

Any tar remover should do it....

Ok ill have to give it a shot today. Im sure you all can relate to how its driving me crazy having everything nice and then the plasti dip lol

APC would remove it but IPA might be safer for your paint

Reference: I used OPC on a set of rims that were plasti dip and it worked amazing

Opc? New to abbreviations on the forum! Pardon my ignorance hah!

I've used plasti dip and all you have to do is expose an area and peel it. Plasti dip is spray on rubber.

Umm, well this isnt the case. I have to scrape it with my nail and that barely gets it off. Some tiny spots will flick up but then you can only peel a tiny spec off. I wish it was easy like it should be.

Yea, typically a few scrapes of the nail will get it lifted/rolled up before peeling. Maybe previous owner didn't add enough coats to the point where it's thick.

Plasti dip has a citrus based cleaner that does a pretty good job of removing the old dip. I worked on a gtr that had plasti dip in every crack and crevice. I sprayed on the cleaner let it sit for a few minutes and hit it with a pressure washer.

Ya most of it is pretty thin imo.

I may try this. I think what I'll do is try everything and make a small un controlled review of which works best. Since there is plenty for me to test on [emoji15]

Did you spray it on and let it dry or stay wet?

Xylene will remove it but be careful as it is hard on paint if left on too long. Best way is brush on directly on the plasti-dip and use shop towel to wipe off.
