Here you go. I know what your thinking I did my by bumper. No that is painted. However, it's good to use for your emblems due to fact if you dont like it later you can take it off.

I went crazy with my last car. But this one will be sane.Just small things. I only have my tails, Wheels, and front bumper done. I dont see much else i could do, without looking ricer.
Plasti dippers hail from Jerusalem I hear...
That $hit looks stupid and gaudy as fawk. Good way of letting people know "I work my a$s Off to afford a crap car and have money for nothing else"

I've used plastidip quite a bit, and as long as you paint/clear over it, it looks great.
Left just as plasti dip, it looks terrible, because everyone can recognize it right away.
Be forewarned, painting over plastidip/clear coating it makes it incredibly difficult to remove and is not suggested unless you'd like to lose a week of your life to change the color of your wheels/accents.
Those are plastidipped then painted, and they look perfectly gloss, as if powdercoated and cleared. It also peels off to the original silver.
Here's a crappy picture of them in green just to give you the idea.

A friends WRX; he got all into plasti-dipping his car and kept telling me to do mine. Didnt seem to care after I told him the potential problems. First two times he didn't have a problem then he does a watermelon sherbert color. He decides to peel it off and finds out that reds will leave a red tint on the clear. Now he has to wash it with goof off until it goes away at least that's what he was told.
So you might want to be cautious when doing a red shade of a color on a silver/white car
