Anybody plasti dipped their mustang, I mean the whole body? Is it good enough or forget about it? I like the idea of peeling it off if you don't like it but if the initial result is not worth then it's just a waste of time and money..

Anything you can just peel off is a waste of money IMO. Anybody could just walk by and peel off a piece and then what have you got? A mess!

I'm more concerned about how it look rather than being peelable, anybody could key a shiny paint and it will be the same mess and cost more to restore.

There are lots of cars other than just mustangs that have been completely plastidipped and look good. Just google it and you will see

Honestly I haven't seen one personally and am planning on trying this. Seems to be more forgiving in terms of prep work and finishing compared to normal paint.
Pictures are really nice (just like what you see on cars for sale on craigslist) but when you see it up close you could see the defects. I really don't like the matte look and I've tried using spray cans with it (the black trim on the rear of my red convert) The pearls and topcoat looks promising but I have to see or hear from somebody that actually did it.

well if you decide to do it , good luck and take your time, although it is easy and does peel off, you have to be careful not to overcoat, are you doing the spray cans or do you have a sprayer, big difference in the final product

I tried the cans and I don't like the result on large parts, I'm probably going with their spray kit.
