As for it being hard to remove since the surface it shouldn't be an issue since it basically sits on the surface of the matte coating, if there is any residual plasti-dip some isopropyl alcohol should take are of everything.

Posted April 1, 2015 I'm going to be painting my asus strix 970 red. Hopefully it will look good Just a tip for using plasti-dip you can get a variety of finishes on it from a flocked or sandpaper like texture to an orange peel kind of finish, it really depends on the way that the plasti-dip is applied. If you follow their instructions and apply a heavy coat, but very importantly don't allow it to run, it will give you a more or orange peel texture and many many light coats will give that flocked or sandpaper texture.
