I don't doubt that one bit! Hahah. That's why I suggested the vinyl, so it could be easily removed. And I wouldn't go with a dark tint, just a liiiiiight smoke

I think plastidip makes a tint now as well. Then you could just peel it off when you wanted to!

That's not a bad idea! The only thing is that it will be a matt finish. Still wouldn't look bad though. And +1 on easy removal. My buddy dipped his m3, and it lasted about 2 months, and he decided to sell it, and we spend about 2 hours peeling it off. It was a blast with a bl**t and some brews. It was like christmasx especially since it went from green dip back to red paint xD

use the plasti dip, then spray some clear over it, the plasti dip is designed to peel off, so anything you spray over it will peel off/flake off as well when you want to remove it.

Have you done that before? Because I've seen a few videos where they covered painting over dip, and they always say don't do it xD

If you use a urethane clear, it will work, you can clearcoat peanut butter with that stuff if you would ever want to.
