    Plasti-dip??

    Hey there everyone, so I have done extensive research on plasti-dip vs. vinyl wrapping and am still scratching my head...is plasti-dip too good to be true or does it actually work and not harm the paint?
    If I were to professionally get my car dipped vs. professionally vinyl wrapped, the results seem very similar, although I've never felt the difference between the two, can anyone chime in on these questions.

    Thanks

    Probably more than 99% of people do it without any damage. In some cases, it can dull or remove the clear coat if the car has been painted in the last 8 months or the clear did not bond correctly at the factory or during its last paint job. Otherwise, you will have no issue. Here is what mine was after 4 months.

    I have plasti dipped my rims and also certain parts of my car. I have yet to have something bad happen to my pait. I have only done some trime peaces and It comes off very easily unless you have some paint chips, which it sometimes stick into it. but other then that its a great product
