TS Auto Design in Richmond used to do it, not sure if they still do though. Give them a call and ask for Billy, tell him that Benny referred you

I dont know but I have done dozens of vehicles using many colours and variations of dilution ratios and every one who has chosen to remove to change colors over time, had no problems with removal or paint/surface problems.
how much would you charge for doing it?

I did my entire dodge ram 2500 diesel in plastidip back in march, still on there. A little faded, but holding strong otherwise.

Someone keyed my car a while back and it still hasn't rusted yet. But, I'm wondering if I cover it with a stripe of black, would the water/salt from winter leech through and rust the metal?

I did my emblems back in June. So far no peeling.
The plastidip does become more dull looking after it has been in the sun for awhile.
I was in the Kamloops area with strong sun all summer.

As in K2 Alphas case, would you peel and re-spray the emblem or just top it up with a fresh coat over top?

in K2's case, If there was zero breaks in the dip, just and dry duller finish, I would give it one heavy coat. that would live'n it up.

Spray the whole car for winter as a protective coat, then peel off in summer and you have your factory fresh paint job good as new.

Not a bad idea to spray your entire car for winter because plastidip protects your car against salt on the roads during winter.

Just ordered clear plastidip, I'm going to spray my chrome pieces to give it that brush aluminum look.

Nice, how many coats and how long did it to dry in this weather? I've read you should wait about 30 minutes between coats?

^^ doesn't really matter how long since what you can do is to use a heat gun or heater fan to dry between each layer. Makes things much faster

I did it on a non-rainy day, probably around 8 degrees or so. I waited 30 minutes in between coats and did about 4 or 5 coats. Worked perfectly!

Thanks...

My goal is to achieve this look for the front bumper and rear trunk chrome pieces on my 750i, I'm also going to do the side turn signals which have chrome trim. I seriously can't stand the chrome, makes the car look cheap.

After:
