Well, it does change the appearance somewhat

I like it! Group Buy anyone?!

PLASTIDIP!!!
Road debree, don't trip.
...Strong $H!+

That is, if you're going for the matteBlack look. Don't forgret prep work Sand w/ 400, 600 then 800 or so. BULLDOG adhesion promoter works great as long as you follow the directions.

-Just an Idea -

Oh yeah, I shot mine with Platidip in December and still, not a single speck on it, good stuff IMO as long as you have novice painting skills.
