I Plasti-Dipped the wifes car cuz the black paint was chipping. Quick fix that turned out looking a lot better than I expected. It came out good enough that I dipped the emblems on my SC

Just tape
One thing i learned on the rear windows, tape it up well, spray multiple light coats in quick succession and unmask it while its wet, otherwise the spray will bond with the tape the same as the trim, and can peel off.
I know thats the awesome part about plastidip, that it peels off easily, but it can be a pita to unmask without peeling the intended part
I really wanted black trim because i am installing visors that cover the upper door part and to me it looks stupid with 3/4 of the trim chromed and then the visor blocking the rest
like this (stolen pic no offense to the owner)

Like six bucks a can or you can buy the kit online for around$400. The coolest part is that if you get any overspray anything, it'll come right off without damaging anything. Part of the fun is peeling off all the excess lol

i starting doing mine yesterday. this is what I've done so far.
some peeling and fading
Here is the taping off
here is about 2-3 coats
not quite done, but close
wasn't hard, i did make a couple little mistakes on the driver side that i will have to re-due.
but i like it. within the next couple months i plan on plasti-dippin the whole car with a custom color.
