Default Plasti Dip

A friend told me about this stuff the other day and said I should put some racing stripes on my miata. I think is would look cool, but im worried that it will mess up the paint if I want to remove it later. Would it be a problem?

i dont know what it would do long term but if you have any paint/clear peeling right now it might peel the clear off and you might get some faded paint where it is... it also scratches off(its not indestructable)

but try it, if you dont like it... peel it off

i just used it on my lettering on my valve cover... didnt work out how i wanted and i couldnt pull the paint off the little inside parts of the letters without scratching the paint off it so i was a little bummed by that
