I have heard if its left on too long you won't be able to get it off.

^ Source?

Everything I have read says that it will last 3 to 4 years, and up to 3 years it still can be removed fairly easily. Anything more than that it will still come off, but it takes a little more effort. Nothing I've read said that it will never come off.

Just what I've heard from people that have been using the stuff for a while that's all. Specifically wheels which will see heat fluctuations more than say a hood or fender or door would.

If is left on for a day... Does it hurt anything? Like the paint underneath is just fine, no prep needed other than just a good wash?

It does not hurt the paint under it. Just a good wash with simple green and it is good to go.
Works over paint,Bondo,bare metal
Does not work well over primer.

I talked to him a couple of days ago and he says it is still perfect. I'm thinking of doing this to my car.

I know i will for sure be doing my Honda civic Red Dip...i say just go for it...maybe get the white dip since your vehicle already is white? It looks really nice. Im picking Red because my car is red and well looks pretty good ...My honda civic has the same color theme going on...except for i think im going to dip my hood and trunk black....(For that Carbon fiber look :spin:JK)

Oh....why not? It peels right of ....atleast is suppose to.....maybe after a few more good projects appear youll consider it ha. I just always really liked the flat paint color look. Yet within flat colors there was a specific texture i always wanted or looked for and plasti dip is the perfect way to describe the look...hmmm
