I've done quite a bit of Plastidip on my last 08 Vert. Never done a whole car.

There is a thread in here somewhere of someone in Europe doing it and it turned out pretty good - for what it is. He applied it with a paint gun though and NOT the aerosol cans.

It evened out the color, but was not glossy in any way.

You can go to Dip Your Car and they sell pro car kits.
They are used for dipping your whole vehicle. Comes with spray gun and everything. Also they have many how-to videos
I've used plasti-dipped on many different things, not just automotive use
On my truck I have the wheels and front and back bumper plasti-dipped. You just have to remember to put enough layers on to resist rock chips
My bumpers have been done for 4 months now. And when cleaned up, they look the same as they did on day 1.
Just get on that site. There's probably more plasti-dip items than you ever thought there was
