I'm wondering what this stuff looks like a year after it's been applied, any pictures of older plastidip ??

Depending on the color and elements the dip will slightly fade after a year. They say it has a useful life of 3 years or more but I tend to redip my pieces every year or so as it is easier to peel back off the fresher it is.

I have my grille trim dipped, after 18 months it looks like the wheel arch trim. I also have the gas cap dipped as well as my winter wheels, none of it has faded or started to peel in that time. Apply it properly and it'll last a while.

I'd check with your local dealer. I bet they have a MINI wing sticker.

That looks fantastic. How hard is the colorline to remove?
