I am thinking about trying some additional PlastiDip experiments. In order to get a smoother mask line, you either need to remove the floating PlastiDip sooner (before it becomes well adhered to the paddles - or, spray only a couple coats at a time, allow to dry and remove floating overspray before shooting additional coats. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to break away as cleanly as the paint does.
With respect to the color, I found that applying a coat of PlastiDip Silver Metallizer over the Aluminum brightened the color to my liking.
The obvious benefit of PlastiDip is that you just peel it all off when you are ready for a change. The downside is that the finish and mask lines aren't as perfect.
