When you want your red deadpool back just peel the plastidip.

Well the stuff is toxic smelling for starters, but the point of the product is to not come off easily lol. It's true purpose is to cover the ends of tools like screwdrivers and hammers to give them an extra grip. Jin saotome and a lot of other great customizers, do use the product, but it's for symbotic bits that come off venom and carnage or for making spiderman webs and possibly weapons, But I wouldn't use it on a figure like that, as I can picture the removal process envolving scrapping it off aww the horror. I'd test it on a double figure or shitty broken one to see how hard it is to remove after cured for a while before doing it on an expensive DP toy. I haven't used the product myself for customizing, but I have used it when I worked at a hardware store redoing some handles on screwdrivers and it was hard scrapping the original bit off to put on the new coat.

Like I said though never done customizing with plastics

If you want to mask parts I recommend MicroMask by MicroScale products, great stuff!
