I've seen it done, but I wouldn't recommend it. I love plastidip for those temporary things, even used it on my wheels as primer, with good results. I have, on the other hand, have had some problem with it. I painted a shiny (clear coated) painted part on my SV650, later to realize, after peeling it off, that it has dulled the clear coat. I don't know how, must have been something in the plastidip that ate up the top layer, but I was able to fix it after some extra work (buffing w/ compound, etc.).
If you are adamant, I would do a test panel, maybe somewhere not too visible (under the bumper or something) before doing the whole car. And please, don't buy 20 cans and do it that way, I believe they sell it in bulk which you can use a regular paint gun to apply
I found this guy's videos pretty helpful:
