i've plastidipped the past few vehicles i've had from the wheels to the trim and/or the logos/lettering. A few very important notes:
1. Make sure its fairly warm outside or in a heated garage and the can isn't cold
2. Shake the can well before starting. Clean the nozzle after each coat.
2. Clean the surface of whatever it is that you are coating
3. Do the first coat at about half of what would be normal coverage
4. Apply 3-5 full covered coats for maximum coverage and durability

Good notes. A lot of times it is done too cold or not enough coats.

I'm also hoping that if I end up completely hating it, I can just peel it off.



Thoughts?
Interesting thought, I like it

My dad had an old blue Land Rover when I was a kid -- many miles, many adventures. And yep afaik the white roof was a counter to the hot sun. I think a glossy white roof on your NBM body would look dope as hell.

I'm a kayaker and I have seen others with plastidip on the roof or a portion thereof to protect roof paint against boats and gear, especially tie-down cam buckles that can get thrown around. So it's absolutely a thing. Actually I'm considering doing it next spring in conjunction with installing a custom rack.

Just be sure to read ever plastidip thread you can find so you feel confident going forward. Every thread seems to have some guys with very successful results and some less so but if you read between the lines a bit you'll find the guys with success stories did their homework and took a methodical approach.

Proper cleaning/prep of the surface, proper taping/masking, using the product as directed (warm temp, clear nozzle, lots of shaking) and many light coats building into a pretty heavy coat seem to be key.

Best of luck and take pics!

Looks great!
