Thanks Sybir. Yeah had I not been really lazy and cleaned it properly, there wouldn't be any worry of stains. I'm sure I could still scrub it out, but like I've stated, I'm really lazy lol. In terms of how its held up, it's doing great. Went from 100+ days in the summer now to freezing and/or slightly below and material itself is holding up fine. There are areas on the corners that are lifted where I failed on masking, and never fixed it. I could have either razor-blade trimmed it, or used left over dip to fill it, but honestly, I didn't plan on making this long term, I really just kind of did it for ****s 'n' giggles. I might strip it and re-dip it another color, maybe black because i can actually be lazy with black, or some crazy ugly color because im a ricer. (I have family in nevada i can have it shipped to luckily)

This is why Subarus are what Hondas were in the early 2000s.

Plasti-dip is also really fun to peel off if you apply a thick enough coat.



Don't think soo?? Then maybe you were just one of those kids who didn't peel their scabs as a child.....
