I just did my Denali last month. Looks great, did my grille and emblems. It's really easy to use just practice on some other scrap piece first. You need to find the proper distance to Spray from to get a smooth surface. I found spraying closer to the piece (5" away or so) you'll get really good results. I gave it the pressure washer test and it held up great. I'll try and post pics tmw.

i plastic dip'ed some spare rims i was going to put on and like manny said, just find a good distance, all though i didnt really care, and just sprayed away and actually came out really good. Just didnt get it covered good enough on a few rims. But goes on good and dont do it good, just peel it off.

did see a video once, where i guy just loosely tapped off around his emblem and then sprayed it, and then just slowly peeled off the excess paint around the emblem.

I got mine at home depot. All they carried at my local store was black. You can order white online or a kit where you can mix your own colors. But if you mix your own you have to apply it with a paint gun. auto part stores should carry it as well.
