Plasti-Dip Removal

[naiku]

So, there are plenty of threads about how to apply plasti-dip, but I have not been able to find one about removing the stuff. I dipped my grille about a month ago now, and while I love how it looks, while washing the car yesterday I noticed a 1/2" chip in it that has gone right through 3 layers of plasti-dip to the chrome underneath.

Now, to 99.9% of the population it is not noticeable. But I know every time I look at the car now I am going to see that shiny bit and be annoyed by it. So unfortunately I have to either live with it, or take off the grille, remove the plasti-dip (there are a couple spots I need to redo anyway) and re-spray it.

So, does it just peel off easily? do I need any kind of cleaner? is there anything I should do before re-spraying it again other than a good clean of the grill underneath. My main concern is breaking some more of the clips off the Audi rings (I think I broke 2 alread y) and the fact it is a pain in the ass to have to remove the bumper etc to get it done. Luckily I already have a full can and a little left in another can of plasti-dip so don't need to buy any more. Oh, and should I leave it now until the spring?

you dont have to remove it all
just sand down the grill get it all smooth and repaint

Plasti-dip can just be peeled off. Use a knife or something to get under it a little bit and start peeling.

yea it just peels off kinda like electrical tape. if it has a chip just peel from there it will come right off.

Just peel a bit off of the area that is peeling, tape it off and spray that section again. Its not like paint where you need to blend it and all that.

That is what I might try first, I think I have some painters tape at home that I can tape off the bumper with. If all else fails, then I can redo the whole thing.

I also tried pressure washing it off. It can be a bit stubborn.
