Background; I plasti dipped the silver part of my stock bumpers a short while ago- video of it is up on YouTube. Answers to a few of the questions:
What's the diff between plasti/paint? Main diff if plasti dip isn't permanent. Good for trying out new colors, dressing parts of your ride for a temporarily look, or when you know you'd want for return the item back to original paint in the future.
Will it come off later? As long as you follow proper drying times and apply at least 3-4 coats, you will be fine. Just like normal painting you want to make sure the area is clean (alcohol/spirits/etc) and dry before starting. Make sure the first coat goes on light to ensure the other coats have a good base and make sure you're on time with the second and subsequent coats @ 30 min drying intervals.
Can I wash it? Yes- mine has been through a few car washes now and is holding up after 3 weeks.
How do you get it off? Pretty much just like peeling a big sticker- start from a corner and rub/roll back a starting point then peel it back. It should all come up cleanly without leaving residue or anything behind.
