Default Plasti Dip

I'm thinking about plasti-dipping my truck to protect the paint and I'd like to stick with glossy black just like it has now. Has anyone done this? Any pros, cons, tips, tricks, or advice? I plan to do everything but the hood because I had an extra hood that I sprayed with rubber underbody spray so I can use it as a table and so it doesnt glare.

I've done the MGB 3 times and once the weather comes around I'll be doing the 110.

IMO gloss black is one of the hardest to pull off.

Lots of good videos here https://www.youtube.com/user/DipYourCarcom

My MGB in various colors of dip The blue is the only one done in glossifier the rest are a satin.

I'll be doing my wheels this weekend. I wouldn't do my entire truck though. I would rather have it wrapped but it's like 2-3k

I was told, I don't know how true it is, that plasticote gets ripped to shreds by branches and thorn bushes whilst offroading as I was considering doing my Pajero to cover the scars on the bodywork. What's you guys experience of this.
