Just make sure you get a good 5 to 6 coats on it, it peels way easier when thick. and watch for overspray, I did my jeep emblem on my grille and got some spray on the hood, its a bitch to get off when it's thin or over-spray, i'm thinking clay bar should take it off though.

i covered part of the windows to catch splatter but if u lay enough coats it peels off the rest easy.... i did take my grill off and VHT night shaded my side markers and blinkers, and i did not tape them off....

Guess Ive been out of touch on the new finishes for Jeeps lately. Never heard of this kind of application. Got to say it gives me a lot of ideas where Rhino coat is over the top.
I know that took a lot of work, so kudos to you for not holding back!!

I wouldn't say it's a "jeep" finish as this is the first i've seen of someone dipping their whole jk, but plasti-dip has been around on several car forums for a while. I like it because it's relatively inexpensive, not permanent, and lightweight compared to rhino lining.
