Are there any issues with that much detail work with plasti-dip?

Did my grill about 3 weeks ago it is holding up fine! Trail rated badge about a month and a half ago. Washes up fine! And YES it is addictive!!! Dog better not sit still too long! And someone asked for do's & dont's when doing grill make sure you spray from every angle and several coats. After I put my grill back on it noticed a couple light spots when in bright sunlight. Next I'm Gonna take on my wheels!

Dude, pull the trigger on your grill. It's way easier than you think. How many cans did you use on your wheels? Looking GOOD!
