I have a project thread but figured I'd post pics here for those who haven't seen it yet. It's a 2001 with srt4 bumpers and hood, r/t side skirts, srt4 rear section with moroso spiral muffler, CAI, 17 drag dr31 wheels, and air ride tech air ride
And just dipped it over the weekend

I'm red-green color blind (honest- no joke) so am I right that this is aqua over purple?

so did you mask stuff off or just spray then peel off the stuff that shouldn't have been sprayed?

A little of both, I removed all the lights, and front bumper. Masked off the inside of the doors and to interior and the outside molding on the doors but not the outside door glass. I removed the wiper cowl and wipers then masked the engine compartment and windshield and molding and rear glass and molding and then the trunk opening. I spent 6 1/2 hours prepping and my step son was helping for a couple hours too.

Ok thanks. That gives me a pretty good idea. I see these videos of people just spraying then peeling the rest off but that seems like a bitch, and obviously wouldn't work everywhere since you did the door jambs etc. I get the feeling I'll be helping a friend (FAC3L3SS) dip his neon at some point so I'd like to know how to go about tackling it.

I wish I would have removed the door glass seals and door caps instead of taping, some of the tape lifted from the spraying so I have been cleanling the seals as I go. I would do that if you're up to it.

Best thing to do when removing the tape is to do it while the dip is still wet, or wait a day or so for it to cure properly.When i go to remove the tape i usually take some glossifier and spray over the tape and edge to re liquify it then pull it off slowly.

I think the issue was the tape didn't bond well enough, and the PD got beneath it.
