Default my stripes from drawing to reality.

So I finally had some time to mess around with the plastidip and well, I need to practice more and get the exact time to take the tape off before the plastic dries. But for a first try I will let you guys see the rough draft.

I would mask off your truck better....overspray is everywhere.....that is going to be a really unique look. What happened to the front wheel? Looks like a spare...

Yea, taping off is hard for base/clear applications too, but with how flexible and peelable that plasti-dip is, I can only imagine how much a pain it would be to tape off.

If you can't get all the coats done before peeling the tape, you can try a tiny coat of oil just on the tape that might repel the paint.. just a thought.. works in my head but maybe not in practice.
