Short story - no and no.

It goes on like paint - and in that way is dependent on skill level and equipment used. To be sure it is in its native form a matte finish and it builds up much faster than regular automotive paint, so a lack of skill could easily result in a texturized finish - but that's not inherent to the material itself. You can go online and see whole cars done by professionals with Plasti Dip and it looks like a factory finish.

The real benefit is in fact the ability to easily remove it - relatively speaking - and to some degree that depends on how much is put on. But basically it pulls off and leaves the underlying finish exactly as it was - no chemicals and no abrasive techniques required. It takes a bit of time and effort, but certainly not like removing regular paint - that would be your nightmare.
