educate me on peel coat

[andyj007]

righto lads would like to add a band 50mm wide of peel coat along the body work edged up with some pinstripe tape..

basically would mark up my band, mask up car, and spray...
peel back the masking tape, that would have overspray on it, so i assume i would have to cut the peel coat? then using a colour pinstripe re edge the band..

what do you think....
its a track day car, so i could actually using proper rattle cans and gloss top coat... but it would be fun if it could be removed after a year and a new scheme applied..

Thoughts??

Are you talking about plastidip spray or a clear stone chip protection vinyl?

If it's plastidip, do as you say. Mask, spray, peel when wet to get a clean edge

 

[andyj007]

plastic coat dip as its a feature colour strip.... peel when wet that makes sense....
if you stop and start say did one side, peeled, then attachd the other side, does it bond/overlay with the previous section??
also whats a decent product to buy... need a grey/anthracite
thanks for the help!

[andyj007]

[andyj007]

£300 for the kit then my mate ad his clio done at midland car dip it was s**t lasted a week. But he drove it there they dipped it with 0 prep he says so was never going to last imo

 

[andyj007]

how much did said mate pay for "s~*t" dip.. their face book page is rubbish... which tells me many things, and their website links to an instagram picture site with many nice cars, but most look to be taken in other countries...so clearly not theirs hmmn
their last review was in 2013... all leads me to think its workmanship rather than product that could be the issue with that one..

midland car dip are terrible.
They were the ones who did my Clio before i had it wrapped.

They did zero prep, didnt even clean the car. Which in turn left tar spots to get warm and leak through.

the guys a fool, if he actually prepped the cars the finish would be good.
