one pointer, leave the mask on for all the 3 or 4 coats then on the last coat concentrate on the edges to soften them up then remove the masking, about an hour between coats.
oorrr buy yourself an EVO intercooler to help performance and while u have the front bar off installing that take the ring off the bar and spray it without masking

Dust free environment.
Go easy on the first 2-3 coats.
Spray from about 20 cm up.
Keep can 90degrees from serface at all times
Wait minimum 15 mins between coats.
After spraying a coat hold can upside down and spray away from car to prevent your nozzle from clogging.
Make sure u wipe down the nozzle after each spray, plastidip dries fast and will cause your spray can to sputter on next use.
After 3 coats tou can start to get heavy on the coats. Just be careful about running. Once u run u cant fix it.
Wax and grease remover eats plastidip so my advice for small touch ups is to spray wax and grease remover on a cloth and rub back the peeling area untill there is a smoith transition from plastidip to paint surface and spot spray minimum 3coats to fix the area.

I unscrewed the top part of my grill when I wrapped the bit behind the plate, it was doable but awkward and not sure how much harder it is to get the chrome off. But I'm sure taking the bumper off makes the job much easier.
Not done it myself but there are loads of guides and I'm sure people here can help.
