try it. you dont have to sand it so it wont hurt anything if you tape up and spray plasti dip on ur bumper. Iv never used it before so i cant tell you, but you shouldnt need a how to to tape up an evo mod and spray it with plasti-dip. Since its rubberized i would imagine it wouldnt chip easily. just be careful washing it that the edge of it doesnt lift as you run your sponge over it time and time again. But i dont know how well it adheres to the surface underneath, have no idea since i never used it. try it and let me know.

well i just bought some of this today because im gonna paint my rims once theres a nice day, and i was messing around with it to see how it would look so i just painted a lighter and it looks pretty good, shouldnt leave a edge you can feel but i could be wrong because i only did one little coat.

lmao its late im watching viral videos on TV i had to. its all in good spirit. pretty much anytime you paint an evo mod and dont clear the whole bumper theres gonna be an edge there and thats why i said in my 1st post that i wonder how it will hold up with the sponger going over it time and time again when he washed it. since theres no sanding for the Plasti-dip there cant be all that much adhesion of it, but since its rubber it shouldnt chip really, i mean i dunno. **** just get it done in vinyl

i got mine at home depot, and its more flat black but you can clear coat over it. just make sure you give it about a day to fully dry before clear coating.
