You have to peel the tape while the plastidip is still wet.

I used a razor and lightly scored it along the tape line as I pulled the tape off slowly

Yeah that's a good idea. Did you do this after it was already dry.

Yes. I did screw up a few spots on the fenders though. It was more difficult in the tight area

Have any of you guys used the glossifier. I was thinking about using it on my wheels. I was curious what kind of texture it is. If its still the rubber coating or if it's more like a clear coat.

Very nice. I did my Windshield brackets the other day as well. I'm VERY tempted in doing the entire hood.

I did my rockers today and they turned out really good. I'll snap a pic tomorrow and post it here.
