So, Let me just say that Plasti-Dipping is Awesome or so I thought in 2013 when I dipped my Altima for the first time!
I however didn't follow the basic rule! Use At Least 5-6 Coats of Dip! I used about 3 1/2.
Not good for the altima! ::( I thought that the coats looked thick enough so I stopped and thought I did an awesome job.

Fast forward to 2016, The dip has been chipping away at the Rims and the grill not to mention the trim around the windows.

Removing this dip was a pain in my .. anyways, It came down to using various products and sinking over $50+ into chemicals.
Wd-40, Brake Cleaner, ect.. Goof Off! This really sucked so I decided to re-dip the correct way. Observe.

Once I Stripped The Dip..

As you can see, I just wanted so baddly to Re-Dip my baby!

So, Before the sun got too hot I tapped this bad boy up and began to re-spray.

Once the Painters Tape Removed...

I was so much more satisfied with the amount of coats I added.
Once I started to peel off the excess dip, it looked awesome!

They say don't wash plasti-dip for about two weeks so i went to one of those self pressure wash car washes. holding it waay back so only aiming around the plasti-dip. And at the sun setting, this was my result...
