If you don't do it right it looks like shit and takes forever to get off.

don't even consider it if your not gonna use a spray gun..... rattle can will look like such garbage..... And yeah idk how long it'll hold up for....

I'd opt for vinyl if you want something that'll last longtime, and fairly cheap

It will hold for around a year with 6 coats. It will still be fine, but you will need to do touch-ups

That is usually with all prep work done and a shitty paint brand/warranty

If you know how to do it right, and if it not hard, then why even ask this forum. He was trying to help you and you gotta be a dick. :(

I was wondering if shops who did this offered warranty on their products for like touch ups and such.

Saw a plasti-dipped car that parks at the same garage as me, and some dickwad clearly ripped off a good section of it..... and you'd think college students would be more mature than highschoolers by now
