And to answer one of the other questions, yes, supposedly if I were to peel it off, the paint would be fine beneath the dip.

Seriously?!? Only like $500 for the car? that is crazy cheap! I'd have to spend $200 in materials to do it myself! I may drive out to TX to have mine done!

I did my wheels myself (yes, home depot rattle can) and they came out GREAT! Cost me like $15 and took 3 hrs. I Was considering doing the whole car myself (yellow!) but wow - $500...

great job!!

How does washing the car work? It always confused me on how "easy" it is to peel off and get your original car color back.....if its so "easy" to remove it seems that washing the car would end up potentially peeling a corner off and giving problems. Can you wash plasti dip the same way you would regular paint? How long does it last?

Unfortunately, that whole "peels off easily" thing is a myth. Yes, compared to paint it peels off easily, but it's going to be tedious.
I've been running plasti-dipped wheels for 16 months, and I have yet to have a single "chip" or peeled area.

The key to washing is plenty of soap (for lube) and a soft sponge
