Anyone plasti-dip'd the roof? or other painted area?
I saw a video of a subie that was murk'd out entirely with plasti-dip and it looked good. While i have no intentions of painting my whole car, especially in plasti-dip, i have been considering doing my roof and thought it would be a really good idea to first see it with plasti-dip to get an idea of how it looked.
I did plasti-dip my power steering line, but that isn't really a painted area.
here is my car now:

how do you think it would look with a black roof, and if you have done it to a painted area, how did it turn out/come off?

I have done emblems and grilles with Plastidip. Works like a charm and dries evenly. The problem is that there will be a texture to the paint as it does not dry as smooth as enamel. The good thing is that it can be peeled off if needed.
I have a WW 2011 GSR and have thought about having the roof done in a vinyl wrap, either faux cf or a matte black. Whatever you do, you have a sick car there. I love it!

be careful. i've done some research and apparently it can cause damage to paint. i think it was a g37 forum. some guy plasti-dipped his entire car. got sick of the look and removed it using high-pressured hose and it peeled off the paint a little. obviously, some of the blame falls on the high pressure hosing. but still, u never know.

either way, i did it, and it looks great. Think i am going to get it painted in the coming months.

It doesn't run, you'd have to try hard to mess it up. It peels off like a fruit rollup. I redid my hood vents with it, looks great, goes the car washes, no problem. Did the center scoop, thought it looked like hell so i peeled it off. Not with a pressure washer tho, just by hand, like claying.
