Uh Oh....looks like I have some competition.

Great job and idea. I see you have the smooth edge technique figured out.

But hold onto your shorts when all the haters see this. They just don't understand the fun factor of PlastiDip.

Let the fun begin.....

Edit:

I see the haters are already posting ahead of me.....

Did my rear facia and hood stripes. I planned on buying vinyl stripes however Plasti-Dip and tape are cheaper. I am thinking about painting my spare plow truck. It is a 94 and could stand to be dipped, might even dip the family pet if I can catch her.
