No need to tape off and no need to cut. Don't know how to explain in words but here's the video showing how it's like when peeling the plastic-dip when it's dried.
Psymon...
Curious... because I really like the results... but can you just tape-mask areas as you would for paint with Plastidip?
I thought that if you taped off an area and did the Plastidip spray that pulling the tape up would also pull the thin vinyl layer you just created ??? Is this a case where you tape mask, spray, then before pulling the tape you run along the edge with a razor or hobby knife?
Plastdip should outlive the car's interior in an application like the one shown on the gauges.

Just plastic-dip it...... It's pretty easy to do.... https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...-0o-gauge.html I did it 2 years ago and it's still holding up very well!

Yep... I've used Plastidip just as shown, but usually peeling it off very disimilar materials, leaving it stuck to what I want.
I gotta tell you, I though for sure, without seeing it, that it'd pull off the glass/plexiglass and would just not break at the seam (for lack of better words) and pull the rest off.
That's good to see and know. Thanks for sharing.
