Anyone Use Plasti-dip?

Curious to whether or not anyone on here has plasti-dipped their T-Bird/Cougar. I've seen ones with the wheels dipped, but not the entire car. I like the idea of being able to experiment with different colors and being able to peel it off when tired of it. I was thinking of getting a few rattle cans then move on to a more professional setup if I like it.

I've used it on my chrome plastic grille and black plastic 'wheel spat' on my '13 ram 1500 ..

good product.
read/youtube the process... good clean prep is important..

1 yr & 10k miles its holding up well on my trucks grill,
but it did form a water blister at some point..

on wheels I have read of course it doesnt last as long

I would recommend also using glossifier as a top coat(s)

pretty easy to use for wheels,
although my local shop will powdercoat for only 30$ each wheel too Wink

Sounds good! My first task will be to seal this up before it gets worse. It is the section below the rear window.

Thinking of either using this or silver touch-up paint to combat the rust. Pictured here is some silver Rust-oleum peel-coat on green automotive masking-tape; looks like a close match.

quick update:
the white plasti-dip on my (previously chrome) '13 ram 1500 grille has held up remarkably well after ~10k miles,
BUT
it 'stains' from dead bugs Etc and is reluctant to let go of the stain,
and I'm reluctant to scrub hard...
