I think he used the metalizer plasti dip stuff (I could be wrong) so it needs to be on black to show up good. And if you put enough coats on it peels right off easy

for the most part peeled off great, but spots that I didnt get thick enough were a complete pita to get off. So I guess you're right a little :p
ohh and I forgot I did my dash pieces a couple times...just make sure you have enough even coats and you're good to go

i could see flat spots peeling off easy, they did on my rims. but his rims arent flat at all, it would be a bitchhh to take off haha, i had to use brake cleaner and rubbed with a rag for most of it.

Microfiber works magic for taking it off too, that's what I ended using cause I didn't want to be doing it all day.
