That's what I'm hoping for. Also do you know if decals stick to it. I know if you peel it off they will come off but want to know if they will stick

they should stick no problem, just make sure you get it right the first time, no moving them around

Absolutely these aren't exactly cheap so I won't mess it up but they are cheap enough I'm willing to buy them again in a year. I'm honestly not expecting anybody to be real pleased with the plasti dip paint job but from where I'm from it doesn't take much to impress you. So it won't take As much for me to like it as others on here but then I see theirs and I'm like holy crap that had to cost a fortune so we'll see how it goes

From what I've found so far it is much more expensive then what I can afford right now. But that said I would kill for your truck it looks awesome. The striping came out amazing I think. Very impressed and maybe down the road I can do thay

Also look up a technique when spraying it. (youtube) I did a rattle can job on a s10 blazer and it looked good for what it was. Take your thumb and pinky and spread them apart, that's about the distance you want, also keep your angle the same by using your wrist, not your elbow as you spray. Take the time to prep, mask and clean the panel and you'll be surprised how it will look. Good luck!!
