The guys on the legacy forum love this stuff. Apparently you spray it on, and when you're tired of it you can just peel it off and the part is untouched. No sanding or prep (besides basic cleaning) required.
I bought a couple cans and I'm going to try it on something soon. I'll probably start with the grill on my outback just to see what it does, but I may see how it looks on my 6ULs or something.

I love plastidip. I have the spray in multiple colors and the liquid tape version of it as well.
I use it whenever I can. For example:
Sealing up old grommets on Miata heater hose on the firewall.
Spraying on the body of boost gauge to make it fit the vent.
Blackening the exterior pillars on my Jeep
Spraying on Miata intake adapter plate for better seal.
Spraying in between the fuel pump cover and deck for a rattle-less fit.

Why do they call it Plasti-dip if you spray it on? Is this the same stuff that I've seen in the past where you take a pair of pliers and you dip in to make new handles, except it comes in a spray on application now?

No ****. I was only aware of the dip stuff, my dad has a can of it unopened in the basement for at least 20 years. And I have liquid electrical tape that I use but it's not plastidip brand. I'm sorta psyched about this removable flat black sprayable stuff. I'll put it on my christmas list!
Thanks for the link cspence.

I have used it. Works great, just gotta be easy on it if you don't use primer. Btw, you can peel it off smooth stuff pretty easily, but if its dimpled or very rough surface, its not so easy to get out.
Also, multiple coats are easier/more durable. Unfortunately the spray stuff only comes in a limited number of colors and recently they discontinued yellow :(
I used it to spray down my seat mounts.
