I actually did a test plate with the bronze, like what the OP used, but was not that crazy about it. Almost settled with gold with a hint (1 coat) or bronze, but then got lazy and just went F it and just went with just gold. Pretty pleased with how it came out.

Not sure, that's the plus living in cali
but I personally wouldn't recommend it if you have snow. The downside of using plastidip is that it is soft. I actually dinged a few spot while trying to put it back on. Could be because it was not completely cured though... not really sure.

Yeah, I started out trying the gold metalizer but didn't really like it. I've tried several other paints but settled on rustoleum since it peeled the best while getting the look I wanted. I'd be careful with other paints, some I've tried made the plastidip really brittle, making it break apart and hard to peel off.

Yes, its nice too since the black contrast gives you a really good idea of your coverage and what spots you need to hit some more/less.
