another option to removing tape everytime is to
take a razor blade /cardboard knife, and cut, te plastidip before removing the tape after the final layer
btw when u ripped the tape off did the plastidip sttart tocome w/ it?

yeah it started to come off with it, I ended up getting a straight edge and putting it up against the plastidip side while i ripped off the tape but you can tell it still doesn't look right if you're up close. I was too scared to use a razor to do it ... lol I'll just end up redoing it and do the suggestion of retaping after each coat...

i actually got lazy, so im going to use an exacto knife
to cut, since bumper is plastic, no rust even if i cut a bit deep by accident, and nothing the plastidip cant fix if i cut a bit deep i'll just spray an extra coat w/ new tape =P

i'll have pics up by 2morrow guys but it loks FRICKIN AWESOME so far!!!
i didnt do the whole 1 layer of tape per layer thing..instead i did the following which worked well
1 layer of tape until 4th layer... 30 mins after 4th layer i used excato knife to help remove the tape ( only 1 side was a bit off, didnt cut deep enuff)
then i proceeded to lay 1 fresh layer of tape for 5th, coat....then after 15 mins removed tape and vola!...perfect and fixed the earlier imperfection =)
chrome grill turned out great with 4 coats....make sure to use goo-gone and get rid of all the residues from the vinyl

Yea, don't clear coat the plasti dip. Clear coat would just make it shiny!
Doesn't need anymore protection anyways
