As long as you can get the edges of the bottom tapestrip, just peel up and away in a diagonal motion. Nice sharp line every time (as long as the dip is still mostly wet)

Yeah that's how I do it, I think because I was using a hair dryer... Thought the last cost was wet enough to be peeled without using the blow dryer...

One lil trick i learned from a buddy of mine was to get a pot or tupperware full of hot or boiling water and let the can sit in there for about 10-15 minutes. It heats it up so it sprays finer and applies more evenly. Also dont really spray closer than 4 inches to keep it from blotting too much

Haha, i oversprayed and as i saw it slowly dripping down i just wiped it all down with a microfiber and then just re-did it. Came out muuch better and its super smooth.

I just purchased a 2016 GT/CS and won't be driving it until summer because of snow/salt in my area. I was thinking of using plasti dip to help reduce chips in the paint from the tires picking up stones and sand. I'm thinking maybe 4-5 coats of it would be enough to take most of the impact before hitting paint. Any idea on how well that would work?

Scott:
4-5 coats would definitely do the job. If it were me I'd honestly do the hood, front bumper, and a good section behind each wheel well and lower portion of the door. It may seem like over kill but if you really wanna protect that bran spankin new paint then doing all those areas is the best way to go. Either that or don't drive it! Lol. Of course when the roads clean up a Lil the peel it off nice and easy. Make sure you do a good base coat and keep every coat after as even as you can. Also allow a proper dry time in between coats to let the product bond properly otherwise it would create a nightmare of a removal. Ask me how I know
