Plastidip for track protection?

Has anyone here used spray cans of Plastidip for rock chip protection?

See this:

The audi boys seem to use it for everything with good success. Seems like a better option than blue painters tape.

I have a friend who Plastidiped this whole Varis lip. Works well from what I can see.

It's old school, but works.

I was just talking to Ralph about this @ Bimmerfest, their 135i was in the BMW CCA booth. His team does a similar thing on their track cars, sort of a of a thin coat of Rhino lining/Plastidip on the front bumper.

Here's a quick shot of his Club racer 135i:

This holds up the abuse from the track well.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
