Overspray doesn’t peel. Not sure what you’re meaning by this.

I think i just sprayed it too thin.
peel paint is intended to peel overspray off.
thats a big part of its appeal.

edit to add… i guess i forgot to add that i used plasti peel paint.
sorry… it was in the title though….

Ok, didn’t realize you meant plasti-dip style paint. People have a lot of names for things and the real meaning is easily lost in text. Yeah, that’s a problem then. I haven’t dealt with this specific issue, so I’m not going be of any help here. You could possibly just call a couple body shops and ask.

That is your problem, the overspray is too thin to peel. I've used this with excellent results...

Just don't get it on any of the dipped parts you want to keep...dipped, obviously.

Mineral spirits takes it right off as well if you have some on your shelf. Used it for years when playing with plastidip.

Also goo-gone spray works well. Spray it on, let it sit for a bit, pressure wash off.
