You can accomplish the same finish, if not better, with Rustoleum's Metallizer paints. I realize you can eventually peel this stuff off, but that's a lot of prep and spraying for something that isn't going to be permanent.

Ok so I finished 4 coats on the front and rear emblems. I think they came out pretty good. There were a couple small spots on the top of the burgers where the paint was very light and there were a couple silver specs shining through...but I touched them up with a brush afterwards. How easily is this stuff to peel off the emblems if my OCD makes me want to redo them down the road? Anyways, here a couple pics. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's raining so I had to take them in my garage.

I'm sure your right, but the beauty of the plasti-dip is you ca maintain the OEM finish when it comes time to sell your ride (should you ever sell it, that is).
