I've seen fake cans of Plasti-Dip being sold. Plasti-Dip is an actual brand, I'm sure there are others but I'm not aware of what's good and what isn't.
The point of plastidip is that it's removable and the original paint / chrome is preserved, so no keying necessary. It isn't always that easy to remove. I know the videos show people just peeling whole sheets of it off the car, but my experience of it is spending most of the day with rags and thinners getting the stuff off, and then going around all the panel gaps and joints in plastic pieces picking it out. I think if it's well applied it helps when rmoving it. It's when the coat is quite thin that you get difficulties.
