Has anyone plastidipped their spoiler?

Has anyone dipped their spoiler? I'm debating giving it a shot. Can't decide if I should keep it matte or add some gloss layers as well. Also, is it pretty easy to remove should I decide that I don't like it?

Plastidip is easy to work with.

I had an old CF spoiler that I dipped.

It's not going to be 100% perfect like paint, but it is incredibly easy to remove without residue as long as you did enough coats of the spray to bond together well.

I'm gonna try it out on the rear reflectors first. just didn't know about doing a piece as large as the spoiler. if it doesn't look right it'll annoy me though, but like you said I can just remove it.

Haha. I thought of doing it to the trunk lip. And I bought a can a week ago and have not started yet

I may do the emblems this weekend, but I'll leave the stripes colored. we'll see how it goes.

Used plasti dip for lots of parts. I say do it and if you don't like it, peel it right off.

Can't you get a black spoiler on eBay for like $100 with a perfect finish on it? Seems by the time you buy black, gloss, etc the delta would be what $50 or $60?
