I have a starfire pearl 4GS f sport and the original owner had the spoiler wrapped but it's a pretty crappy wrap job where there's creases and a spot that's starting to tear at one corner.

I'm trying to decide if I should have it rewrapped or plastidip it.

If I plastidip I'll obviously do it myself which will require I take off the existing wrap. What's the best way to take off wrap? Heat it up with a hair dryer and peal away?

For those of you who have plastidipped, has it held up over time? Do you think it will hold up and look good on a flat surface like a spoiler?

Should I go black or matte gray like my f sport wheels?

Thoughts?

I don't know much, but I did some on-line research, and it seems that both plastidip and vinyl wrapped are removable.

Plastidip is good for a soft grip, or soft surface finish, and is good for small areas and small sections.
When spraying larger areas like the bonnet etc, the spray film can be uneven, giving a less than quality look under light.
Off the top of my head, plastidip should work well for the trunk lid spoiler.

Vinyl wrap is better for large sections like the whole bonnet, or the canopy etc.
Vinyl wrap used to have problems with bubbles, but the newer technology especially from 3M reduces bubbling to a minimum.

Off the top of my head, plastidip should work better for "uneven" surfaces like badges and decals eg "5.0 V8", due to its aerosol can spray-on technique.
Vinyl wrap will really be required to stretch and lots of heated air from a blow dryer to accommodate the uneven surface of badges.

just choose a good color you will be happy with. I've had many of my cars wrapped and looks like paint with the proper installation done.
this was my old Z last year, 20k miles on the vinyl, took 3 long road trips (nyc to chicago, nyc to minnesota, nyc to pennsylvania)
