With BABE around the corner, our team has been going over and starting to get the car together theme wise for the rally.

I want to paint it. With real paint. The cars owner (teammate) wants to use the car after the rally still so that is a no go.

So, my next though was plasti-dip. THey have the color we need. Also, as i am told, and have read its non permanent. My first question is how easy is it to get off?

Lastly i have been looking at shelf liner. Cant find any cheap stuff in orange though. I know nothing about vinyl either so if that is a better option can you fill me in? Seems as though this is the least permanent option.

THank you for all your help.

Vinyl wrap looks nice and is removeable. But it is expensive. Sounds like Plasti-dip is probably your best bet.

Get washable paint, it will be, by far, the cheapest and easiest route.

Vinyl isn't THAT expensive if you do it yourself. But I like the idea of kindergarten paint. Especially if you drive through a rainstorm.

Tempera paint, that's the stuff I'm thinking of. I might have maybe once used it on a rental car. Comes right off in a car wash.
