I did it to my grill and chrome piece two days ago and i LOVE the results. I had an estimate done about a week ago to get my grill, chrome piece, and front lip and it came out to $850 
. That was discount price too because my neighbor hit me and I was getting an estimate for that. Still need to get my lip painted but definitely saved a lot of money from plasti dip.

yeah ill try to remember to get pictures of my grille and chrome lip. I just washed and painted over my old black paint on my grille. Didnt do any sanding, but im pretty sure its on there pretty good.
its not color matched. its kind of a matted black

I would go with 2 cans to be safe and i would put go with at least 3 coats. My advice, take the grille off to do it and on the valance, peel it off soon after you're done spraying so it won't dry and try to stick to the tape/paper. It dries fairly quickly. GL man! Really want to do my valance but the taping is gonna take me a while to get it right I know.

i think itll look best when the car is fully debadged (or maybe with just the infiniti emblem left). the chrome offsets the matte :P
im planning on debadging soon.

@franky2222: try doing the diffuser. then the matte black on the spoiler will match the bottom and it might look better
