Otherwise the plastidip is strong enough to pull off with the tape.

FWIW, I took the white off mine earlier today in 1 giant piece! LOL! Pretty amazing (and fun) stuff.

Thanks for the hints and tips. I'll try my best to smoothly overlap. The areas I will be spraying are much smaller than what you did. So hopefully it will be less noticeable. I'll probably do 3 good coats and see how it turns out. Then I will do the other side.



I will just be spraying the rear number panel (or what would be a number panel if it was an MX bike). Not sure how terrible it's going to turn out. But that's the cool thing about plasti-dip. You can just peal it off.
