edit: looks like the OP went ahead and covered the whole thing, but i will leave this here in case anyone else finds it useful.

Only problem I would see with this is you would have to spray one full heavy coat all at once. Meaning you can't spray 4-5 coats letting each dry in between for better curing results. I guess it won't matter as much with plasti dip. I know with real paint, you have to be real careful about how much you spray at once or it will start to run.

yea you're right. it'd be tough to make it work with 4-5 coats with dry time in between.

my technique includes minimal dry time and only 3 coats; one super light w/ 30 secs dry time, one to get coverage w/ 60secs, and one thicker final coat for smoothness. I suppose the downside is that its a little harder to peel (I.e. you have to pull it more carefully if you remove it). however I don't get the rough, orange-peel look that a lot of people complain about. in terms of durability it still seems to hold; had it on the front of my BMW for 2 years with no peeling, nicks, etc. I only did it recently on my Z but I don't expect different results.

I've gotta give that a try. I haven't had much experience with plasti dip, but I figured more coats makes it easier to peel off. 3 coats should suffice, I suppose.
