For sure. I did at least 4 coats on the fangs on my previous bumper. No knicks in it until I hit a deer. And all the deer did was put the smallest knick in it w its hoof. Should def hold up on the track.

Question how do you guys stop the dip from sticking to the paint tape. When I pulled the tape some bits of the dip came with it. I figure Ill just redo the little area but I wanna make sure it won't happen again.

I left an inch gap with the tape around what I was spraying. Don't put the tape right on the intended target.

As promised, here are the pics of my plastidipped emblems. I will probably have to redo the 370Z badge because I started peeling it off before it was completely dried so it didn't come off so cleanly.

I have the same issue, and i'm scared to get an Exacto anywhere near the clear coat.

Get edge lock tape from 3m and make sure all the tape lays perfectly flat on the surface and remove the tape after your done spraying. It worked great for me perfect lines now.

2 of my wheels started peeling around where the lug nuts are. I guess I didn't spray enough in that area
