I painted all the chrome on my front and rear bumpers with regular truck paint and it looks horrible after a month, there a bunch of chips in it so I was thinking about using plasti dip when I go over it again
Well, my advise would be to sand it smooth before you use the plastidip cuz it doesn't really fill, use probably 4-6 medium coats minimum (be careful cuz it will run like a mofo) or 10 light coats and when you tape off make several layers of tape so you can tear off between coats and dont let the plastidip set up before you remove the tape, pull the tape when the plastidip is still very wet. Otherwise, in my experience the plastidip has a tendency to tear.
The plastidip doesn't chip like paint does, it does get marks tho where it gets impacts from rocks and large bugs and I've seen bug guts stain it slightly when it was left bare and no glossifier or clear was used. And it will start to peel in rare instances when a rock fully penetrates it and you hit it with a pressure washer
Other than a few little annoyances, it's pretty stout stuff, cheap and easy to work with, easy to remove and reapply.
But then, you could get a 10" wide by 25' long roll of vynil for about $30 and apply that just as easily using the wet method and a little heat for the corners...
That will save you money and time by not having to mask and tape off the surrounding area, buy glossifier or clear etc. All you need is a razor blade, a soft straight edge and a spray bottle with some warm soapy water and then hit it with a hairdryer for corners and once you got it cut to form and tuck it in
