I'm experienced with paint and I wouldn't use Plasti-Dip fro this purpose. If I HAD to, i would peel that tape away very carefully before it sets. Otherwise you'll have issues. I would personally remove the trim from the vehicle if forced to use Pasti-Dip.... this stuff is a rubber coating designed for tools and for wires. I use it on wires all the time. And let me tell you, it doesn't last forever. If you use the right paint and do it right it will.

I did this over the course of the last year, lower straight pieces, then the curved trim. It is holding up very well.

Excellent work gentlemen.
Just seen a friend over at Motorcepts yesterday & he was telling me about this Plastic Dip he used on his trim.
Never even heard of the stuff, these results are very convinicing..
Next off days got myself a project...
Would cooler weather say mid 40's have any effect on the application?
