So I bought my truck with this design plasti dipped on the side. I'm sure its plasti dip because it's peeling on the bottom. Anyway,126ea82a86d72e0116c6f1a689c119be.jpg any of you know an easy way I can remove this?

If it is plastidip, you should be able to grab the loose corner and peel it away from the body at a 45 degree angle. On the videos I've seen, they rub the edge until it starts peeling away then pull it from there.

Peeling.. it could also be vinyl in which case a heat gun would help.

I've heard that if you spray that stuff with wd-40 and let it sit for a couple minutes it makes it really easy to remove. Wd-40 won't hurt your paint.

There's a product called dip dissolver. It is safe on the paint.

+1 for WD-40. I've used it a few times on things I dipped that didn't turn out well.
