Ok, I really need to do this. My car is white as well. Great inspiration from you! Nice work!

Did you apply any wax or other product on the paint to prevent sticking? How did you peel between the letters and inside loops?

Thank you.
I cleaned the letters and bumper with Windex a few times. Then I used blue painters tape and made a square around the letters with 2 inches of space. Then I taped off a large area in the back of the car with plastic and paper to prevent overspray getting another parts of the car.

I think the key is to let each coat dry thoroughly. I put on 4 coats with 1 hour drying between coats. Then I let the car dry overnight. This morning I put on 2 coats of Glossifier to protect the the Plasti Dip. ​​​​​ one hour-drying between coats.
it peeled up very easily. When It gets close to the letters pull at a 45 degree angle. I used a toothpick to remove the Plastic inside the letters.
fully allowing the plasti dip to dry makes it much much easier to pull up in one continuous sheet.

Now you need the GTS grille...

After...

And I also did the plastidip on the badges... After almost 2 years it has held up okay, but the texture is getting quite rough...
