Time for the painted wheelbarrow pictures. I'll discuss my experience after an explanation of the photos.
1. Shows the water beading capabilities, thank you hurricane Irene.
2. Is after a quick drying. Notice the line between the plain Plastidip and the part sprayed with enamel and clear coat.
3. Just another angle.
4. My initial scuff mark.
5. Peeling a piece back.
6. After about one minute of effort.
7. The average size piece that was coming off.

The paint job looked really good. Other than some dust that settled on it while drying, it looked like a pretty decent finish. It was smooth, much like the paint on a car, so it didn't have any of the feeling of plain Plastidip. I bounced a rock off it with no damage. I didn't try throwing it at 45 or 50mph, like highway speeds, so I can't tell you about how well it would hold up to that.
The removal was a bit slow. As you can see, I didn't manage to get any pieces larger than my fingertip. If I attempt to remove the entire amount that I painted, I may develop a better technique and get bigger pieces.

Conclusion: I think it would look good on the car when covered with regular paint and clear coat...just be prepared for some work if/when you decide to remove. Long term quality is assumed to be pretty good.
