Are you planning on those patterns? If so, I can't think of anyone who will vote...
I would experiment with maybe doing your hood in black to see if you like it...

Bud, Plasti-dip isn't nearly as easy to work with as you might think. Plus spraying an entire car is going to take a lot of rattlecans.

Although I'd never be caught riding with you with any of the choices. I would have to go with #3.

I agree, it sticks to the tape like you wouldn't believe. Near impossible to get sharp paint lines. If youre gonna dip it, just do a solid color. Save yourself a huge amount of aggravation. Or, if you are going to do it, make sure you have a case of razor blades handy, and a steady hand....

Just thinking of attempting those shapes gives me the sweats. FYI some mild solvent spray paints will stick to plasti with minimal trouble. I use it all the time on camping and hunting gear for ghetto camo base. Have fun. I like the brown. My wife would kill me if I pulled that kind of stunt.

I never had an issue with dip sticking and I've always gotten clean lines. Also, why would you use the cans to do an entire car? They sell kits with spray guns that make it a lot easier. That being said, your proposed colors are possibly slightly ambitious. Start with one panel as a member said and see what you think.

I like option 0. The first picture in your post, haha. If you really want to do something I think a two-tone along the body line would be cool.

how long did you let it cure before pulling the tape? I did my flares and it was a pain in the ass to get the tape up without pulling the dip with it. I wonder if I didn't wait long enough, or too long.
I'm also planning on doing a hood blackout and dont want to run into the same issue if I can avoid it.
Sorry for the threadjack!

I fell in love with #9 the instant I saw it. 
As long as you keep that brush guard at full tilt, any of them will look good.

This FJ turned out pretty cool i think.
But i think any of the brighter colors wouldn't look good.
If i were to dip my whole rig, i'd just do 1 solid color.

hmmm that must be what he's modeling it after.
If done right… you might, just MIGHT, be able to pull it off.
I'm guessing that FJ is wrapped though.

The only thing you should be plastidiping is your wheels and then covering that layer with a nice paint color.
Also loose the brush guard.
Your paint looks fine. WHy would you instantly cheapify your ride by plasti-diping the vehicle?
Odds are it will turn out pretty terrible. Check out this discussion ----> http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...Why-or-Why-not

The idea is cool, but the color combos are horrible 
I've plasti dipped a good amount of things including my bumpers. All you have to do is rip the tape off before it drys and your lines come out clean.
If I were you I'd do an all black base coat, then do you digital camo on top. Like the FJ above^
Justtttt my .02cents.
