Default Plasti-dip

I was hoping to get 3M clear bra on the front of my rear fenders but it did not work out. I was concerned about driving around unprotected.

I read about Plasti dip and decided to give it a try. Plasti dip is a temporary plastic coating that feels sort of like undercoating. It had thickness and does protect. My car is black and gray so I went with black. Putting it on could not be easier. You do have to do wet coats and pull the tape while it is wet. I masked it off and used the last tape line as the edge so I did not have to re-mask. I only had 1" tape so I could not get a graceful curve and I will likely do it differently next time. For $7 a can you can't go wrong and if you do peel it off and try again.

It has done its job so far, is showing no signs of peeling. I did get some 1/2" masking tape and will mask it differently next time.

Here is a photo from my phone, I did not intend to share it so excuse the quality.
