And, IIRC, I believe you're supposed to remove the masking before the plastidip dries, to prevent what you experienced.

This.. and on the windows and bumper it would save a lot of time to just dip and then peel once you're done.

I can see that on the bumper, but the problem you run into with the windows, is the weather stripping, unless you want that dipped too. And if you start doing some good business and start pumping out a few cars a week all that over spray on windows and headlights adds up quick. I rather take the time to tape it and pull the tape off at the RIGHT TIME :doh:, then go back and try to clean it off the windows, which in any case you are messin with the windows one way or another

Yeah I heard that stuff can be hard to work with and kind unforgiving. One of our old techs did his wheels in it and it came out looking like sh!t, he had bugs and dirt and all sorts of stuff in it. I'm sure him be slightly a mental midget didn't help.

Along the back window

That door weather stripping is to easy to pop out for that one you have no excuse. The rest, well that sucks.

I was able to get the top 3/4 off but I couldn't get the bottom part off, it was late, I was frustrated, and I REALLY didn't feel like breaking something......but lesson learned, it will be much better on the next go around
