Always time and money to do it over but never time to do it right......
Why would you do this? Just so you can watch it peel off again a few days later?
You can do this without spending a lot of money and get a quality job, but it's a LOT of work, and I get the impression you just want to go out there and spray it with something and have it be done.
So if you want a quality job there are folks here who can give you a step by step, but if you just want to do it in 10 minutes, you're on your own there...

Yes. Sure is going to be hard to make it an even thickness over that large an area. But I guess it will just peel off if it doesn't go well. Gonna need lots of plasti-dip.
(I'm resisting the obvious comment about wanting to be there when you are turning it upside down to dip it.)

Not sure what has happend with the PD company but my last few projects were nothing like what it used to be.
Could be the nozzel vendor for the company is different now, but I had such uneven look from two new cans purchased. Finish was smooth in some areas and rough in others.....I tested it against an old can I had and the difference of spray pattern and amount being sprayed was like night and day.
Older can of PD worked much better and had an even finish and smoother coat.

This isnt mine, its s00perc00per's who said:I plasti-dipped mine as well, it took me 2-3 cans. IMHO it looks like ***. It was supposed to be temporary so i could save for a vinyl roof, but be able to buy my black rims. Plasti-dip is a miracle paint for small stuff, or odd shaped things, but the roof is a little to big and flat for it. dont get me wrong, it works, and it has stuck for about 8 months now, but some parts are smooth, some are rough and its hard to wash. Not to mention, its totally noticeable. Every MINI meet ive ever gone to someone has touched it and "inspected it."

It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of!
Exactly why would anyone want to plastidip their roof? If you want it black, at least sand it, mask it off and spray paint it black.
I'm sorry but that's beyond a mod that just because I don't like it, it's stupid... it really is stupid.

I love plasti-dip for blacking out chrome, but I am not sure how it will work on that large of an area. I do think you will have some issues trying to wash it, but if you take your time and do it right, I don't think peeling and cracking will be much of an issue. I did both scoops on my MINIs a year ago and have had no problems with either. Personally, I think the vinyl is a better option for a longer term fix.
