I haven't seen a bike done with it, but there are a lot of videos on youtube showing guys coating their cars for a temporary color change.
To me that kinda of defeats the purpose of why one buys a bike in the first place, as part of the experience is being enamoured with your bike and I think plastidip would ruin the experience.
