I'm no plastidip expert, but have had a little experience blacking out the chrome on a 135. It doesn't last forever and dirt sticks to it. Maybe gloss coating would help, but the black I did looked good for less than a year. I imagine white will get dirty quickly. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to remove from the textured plastic. When applied properly with many coats, it supposedly pulls off more easily. That said, I ended up needing goo gone and a lot of time to get it all off my smooth chrome. Most came off in larger sections, but not all of it and little random dirty white specs would drive me crazy. Instead of going through all that hassle at least once a year, I think I'd pay a body shop to sand and paint it.Alright, I'm sold on the Cactus Grey, I mean, I even have a build date!!
I'm thinking about plastic dipping (white) the MIC hardtop immediately. Do you think the plasti dip will take (adhere) to that top, and possibly the handles?
If I really wanted to try, I'd start with something small like the door handles and re-watch the videos from dipyourcar. They really emphasis the importance of multiple coats. You want the dip layered thick for your best chance of it peeling off nicely. Live with that for a couple months, see how the white ages and what it's like removing it from rough plastic surfaces.
