I have used plastidip for several years now, in fact, we are doing a car for a friend next weekend. The main reason I bought from dipyour car is becuse of the selection of colors and finishes. We are doing his in a antharicite true metallic and will probably finish with a few gloss coats. It looks amazing, just like metallic paint.
We do our work in a paint booth and use pneumatic guns and bake the finish, if you have any access to a way to bake the finish (other than direct sunlight) do it, it will hold up much better over time.
I love the color on my XF too much to do any plastidip on it, but my daily is about to get gloss copper metallic wheels
