Has anyone tried spray painting over plastidip yet? I got good results on a test piece. Opens up infinite colors. Still peels off too

People have done this plenty with mixed results.
It still "peels" but not quite as well as it would without being sprayed over.

As far as color goes. DYC has loads of pigment colors that can be mixed and matched to create the color you want.
This method preserves the peelability too.

I think they talk about painting over dip in this video.

Very informative video. I had a much easier time with my stuff though. Guess it's hit and miss. I know one thing for sure, if I ever get a new car I'm dipping it immediately so the paint will be perfect when I don't want it anymore.

I've heard people doing this too. Not sure how well it turns out and I have a feeling it really depends on what color pearl you mix into a certain dip color.
This forum is full of info if you haven't looked already:

Gotta be careful dipping a brand new car too. If the clear coat is super fresh there's a chance the dip could eat through it. Have only seen it happen like once or twice, but it is a possibility.

ooh that would suck, having a new car, dipping it thinking its awesome, then right before you sell it for ultimate value you peel it to discover your finish is total ****

maybe wax it while its fresh, keep it in the garage covered for a month then dip it?

Yeah, that would be a bit of a buzz kill haha

I've heard it can take up to 6 months for the clear coat to be okay to dip over.
At least that's what DYC recommends.

Oh, hey Fargo! haha

I don't think that green looks too bad honestly.
What color are you thinking for spring?
