The weather stripping is pretty tight up against the painted surfaces / the windshield trim, so getting the plasti-dip to 'break' along that seam was real difficult. I ended up running a razor blade along the seam to cut it, but I imagine that'd be quite the headache on a full-car dip.

Yes, there were some things that took some time, but to be honest, doing the detail stuff like you did is probably more time consuming than an entire car. Especially since everyone working on it was a professional body guy or a well seasoned DIYer, the tape job was important, but we still had to use razor knives on certain areas as well...
