Im really glad I found this thread. The previous owner of my JK had a thing for chrome and I need to plastidip a few things. Has anyone tried using this stuff on mufflers yet? Or do you think that they would get to hot for plastidip?

Here's a tip, just tape a rectangular spot around the key hole and paint it, wait a few min til it's dry then take a toothpick to gently scrape the excess plasti-dip that's on the paint off around the key hole. Or tape it as close as u can around keyhole and pull the tape off while the paint is still wet

The toothpick trick worked for my grill emblem, Hadn't thought of that for the key holes. Thanks.
Cheers
