This is after a year. The trick is I use tire dressing on the plastidip, it keeps it shiny and if you buy good tire dressing it wont dust up.

Lookin good! OP i plasti dipped my diffuser and my emblems and if done right it looks good! I've never done my spoiler so idk how you would approach that.

Thanks. I originally painted my spoiler because I had my hatch open while I was doing the interior and without know my garage door was rubbing on my hatch every time I opened and closed the garage. It looked like this before

lol it crossed my mind. But plasti dip was round and I personally like the look so it has stayed on the car. haha

Mitco39 that looks great! what you did to your car is exactly what im trying to do!
did the exrat plasti dip come of easily under the spoiler and the body? especially that little space between the spoiler and the break light?

A little secret I learned to give it that look is to put the can in pitcher of hot water before you start spraying. (or just leave it out in the sun). I have found that if you get the can warm it spays much more evenly and less blotchy.

It comes off just fine it was my first time using it and the only mistake I had was I waited till it was dry to pull off the tape and it started peeling off a little more than I wanted. I then just made sure to trace it all with a exacto knife.

The exhaust has had no effect on the spoiler. By the time the exhaust gasses get that far from the engine they are fairly cool.

The thing with plastidip is that the end result will vary by person. I have seen some very clean executions and a lot of "my best try" type results.

I fell into the later. I plastidipped my rear valence just to see if I liked the contrast enough to save up for a Fujimura rear diffuser.

I spent waay too much time on it. My results were "ok" and it lasted for about 6 months before it started to fade/peel in some places.

I took it off a few weekends ago and am back to looking at the fujimura.

Bottom line - It is not so fool proof that you are guaranteed the higher end results like you see in some pics. Knowing how to use the tool and having the best conditions (temp/humidity etc) will bring better results. If you can't control all these variables you get "meh" results.
