Wow!!! You have far more nerve than I as I would love to have white but wraps have too many downsides for me at this point. This is way out there. How do you keep this from going where you do not want it once you want to remove it?

^ yes just peel it off
I dunno I'd have to see this in person to see how I feel. I've seen some plasti dip cars and the odd texture makes it look cheap IMO but hey at least like u said its reversible!

A lot of questions can be answered through this video. Looks can be deceiving with regards to technique. Props for being first!

My question is how long does it remain flexible to peel off. Is there a recommended age for removal, b/c I cannot imagine scraping pieces off as opposed to peeling large sections? Second, does the matte color fade/change over time, especially in sections where there are more heat than others?

There are guys running bright colors in the Florida heat with no fading issues, i'm not sure on longetivity
plastidip is good to 300+ degrees, I had it on my exhaust tips and it looked brand new for months.
Pics are up on the first page guys, on two seperate posts
PS it looks awesome! I learnt a few lessons and definitely need to touch up a few little areas.

Looks cool. I wonder how it will look when/if you are unable to get the PlastiDip out of small chips that you might of had in your black paint.
I also wonder how well PlastiDip will hold up to rocks,etc being thrown at it. My guess is not to well..but we shall see!
Let us know how it goes!

seems strong as hell though.
there is no doubt about it coming off, any little overspray areas can be easily cleaned up with a microfiber cloth, or in tough areas goo-gone.
