Watched a video or two on the process. Cool stuff! That would be so cool to paint a plane with. Don't like it anymore? Peel it off and shoot something different.
I wondered if it would be okay on high-speed stuff, then I remember we're flying Maules.
Sadly, it's not fuel resistant, so you'd really have to be on your game when filling the tanks.
It looks heavy, too, if one were to consider it to cover a whole airplane. Maybe no heavier than a Polyfiber vinyl topcoat, though.

This spray on film looks fun. I am guessing it was never designed to be permanent.
After viewing the video about peeling on Dip Your Car, the one issue that would give me pause is what would happen if at 120 kts an edge came loose and a panel were to peel off in flight ending up on a control surface.
This might be a non-issue with this product, I don't know.
Have fun.

I had a small area, so used rattle cans. It doesn't flow like paint, so you can fill in or spot spray and it doesn't look mottled. I think it will last well...and if it peels off...re-do it, or change the look. I am planning on changing the look after every marginal landing when observers are present!
I have experimented with peeling it off, and it takes some work to get it started. After that, it doesn't just fall off. I don't expect it to part company at 120.
