Thanks for the compliment, I really like how it came out! Here is a few more iPhone shots of the prep work and after.
As far as steps, tape and mask off whatever design you want. Prepare for a bit of overspray although you can get the over spray off with a quick detailer and a microfiber towel really easily. Do 4-6 coats, wait about 5-7 minutes between coats. Remember to build up the coats lightly, don't get overzealous or else you could get drips and an uneven finish. It will start looking even after the 3-4 coats.
The hardest part is removing the tape where you want the sharp lines to be, because the plastidip not only adheres to the paint but the masking tape also. So you have to pull the tape and edges off slowly to make sure you don't pull the plastidip up with the rest of it. I took a blade by itself (not in a handle) and lined it up along the tape as I pulled the tape up to cut the plastidip on the line that I wanted it on. The blade is resting on the plastidip so it wont scratch your paint as long as your careful. You dont need to use a whole lot of pressure.* Be careful to not slip and scratch your paint though.
