Plasti dip looks great for about a week then it turns to $hit. The stuff is a royal pain in the a$$ to remove later. Why do you want to do this if your paint is good?

Carefully wet sand it with 3000 grit and buff it. If that's not enough then hit it with two stage clear and buff that. If you have a compressor and a garage this is easy.
