All in all, I'm pretty happy with the result. The color works great, but there are a few imperfections that I'll need to address. It got really cold and windy yesterday afternoon, and I think that affected the final finish of the paint. I may remove part and redo, but for a first attempt, I'm super happy.
It changed the timbre of the keys a bit, too. It's a little more "clunk" than "clack" now (Cherry Browns).
Anyway, if you're considering dipping something, just go for it. I'd never tried Plasti-Dip before (though I've painted a million things and am pretty handy, generally), but it's really pretty easy stuff to work with, and is far more forgiving than a typical rattle-can product.

Very nice

is plasti-dipping better than hydro-dipping?

I like everything about your board... Well done sir.

Plastidipping isn't as permanent as hydrodipping. Plastidipping can be easily removed (unlike hydrodipping) but it's not as durable for that same reason

Yeah, it's not really a case of better or worse. Plasti-Dipping allows you to change your mind a bunch of times, which is cool. It's super easy to remove from metal, so peeling it off and changing the color or just touching it up is a piece of cake.
