Default Plasti-Dip

So a friend showed me plasti-dip, in rattle cans, that you can get at Home Depot, Lowes etc. This "paint" is awsome! Easily applied and even easier to remove, literally peel it off in one layer. Anyway, I have a sebring siver S and I painted the lowest body line black (the one that is sort of "crinkle" painted). It came out great and I've been getting alot of positive feedback. After, I decided to wrap up from the fronnt into the bottom of the grill.
Next, I was thinking mirrors and a single stripe down the middle a little smaller than the distance between the washer jets or a thinner stripe offset to the passenger side.
I just wanted to know if any of you had any experience with this stuff and what you think of my new "mods."

(Hopefully pics soon)

If I still had the Berlina I'd opt for the copper color for the wheels

I have my wheels, H badges, and S2000 badges plasti-dipped and I love it (because if i ever change my mind I'm 5 minutes of work away from looking stock). Just remember: multiple coats! My car is a sebring as well.

How long, how well are your wheels holding up?

Minicoop, the trim you have already done sounds tasteful, but the stripes are rice.

I think the mirrors are going to be a go, but I'll have to think about the stripes ...
$5 isn't bad for a possibly awsome looking paint job and if it doesn't look good its fun to peel off

Pete said 4. Really it's around 3, but you want to stop once the can starts spitting so you don't ruin the surfance finish.

The Dip Your Car Youtube videos are pretty helpful as well.
