Default Plastidip

Ok decals are removed ready for plastidip tomorrow. Gonna do the keyholes, antenna, grill, fenders and step bars. Question is do I have to take the fenders off to plastidip or is it fine to just tape off and spray while they are on? Gonna finish the blackout with some mite shades on headlights and tail lights too.

Be sure to tape off good. That stuff gets everywhere! It's easy to get off if it does, but it is a pain in the a$$!

When you tape, don't tape up to the edge. Leave 2" of paint around whatever your painting, trail rated badge, key hole ect. Spray away and peel off overspray when it droes

Nope. That's how I did my trail rated badge. No cutting and gives you a perfect edge. Just peel it carefully
