Plasti dip..... I hate you.

Rampitt · Mar 23, 2016

Tried to remove the plasti dip on my truck with no luck. I bought it with it on there and seems like the guy put a thin coat to where it is just coming off in pieces. I bought a plastic razor blade off amazon and dip dissolver I tried goo gone but it's a mission. Heard it was easier with the stuff I am buying. Just wanted to let guys know if you are going to use plasti dip do like 5 coats.

Shouldn't hurt it, it's non corrosive.

No wd-40 won't hurt your paint. This is the most common way people remove plasti dip from their vehicles.

I plasti dipped my entire VW, but coats were ****. Do not use WD-40 gets everywhere and never comes off... Spend the money and get dipdisolver, and use a 20* pressure washer blade. Let it soak for 15 min then you'll be done in 5

This is the route I would take.... or if the coat is so thin go buy some plastidip get a piece started, respray with a few coats and build up the dip. maybe it will come off easier when a thicker membrane is applied... Its supposed to meld together even when sprayed on old applications

Oh man that dip dissolver is no joke.. Sprayed it and 20 min later pressure washed it came right off. Definately worth the money wd-40 goo gone just doesn't compare

I know it's pricey but it's totally worth it. Spray it let it sit for 5 to 10 min and pressure clean it comes off so fast

Lol that's crazy cause it pulled it off my wife's bumpers I did on her old Equinox and they were a rough texture so it stuck to it pretty good

Thanks for the info. It took me longer to do but the WD-40 worked ok, you still have to put a whole lot of elbow grease
into it.
