You should be ok, I don't think the rear area of the car even at the muffler get's hot enough to be a problem. Just to be safe check the can to see the heat range it can withstand, it should tell you what applications you can use it on.

I think you'll be okay; worst case it doesn't hold up well and you take it off.

You won't have a Problem. I CF Vinyl wrapped the rear though. I would recommend doing that. Not to expensive.

Doesn't look bad at all MIA..You did a great freaking job! As for the turn signals..just be sure to let it dry for 2-3 days before washing it. Believe it or not..I had mine on for 6months or so..and I finally received a bubble from one of the signal tints because of washing my own car. Anything is possible..luckily the guy I go too charges..20 bucks for both signals :O

What color plasti dip are you planning to use?

And ... a general plasti dip question,

I think this stuff is rated for up to ~300F. Anyone use it on their engine covers?

Yes, but some of us want to try it out and see how we like it first. But I am sure it came out great!
