Has anyone plasti dipped interior peices for accent? Curious how the dash or door panels would hold up with the temp in the car when parked in the sun.

Check out the DipYourCar forums. Plenty of people have, but Idk if they've had it on for that long, to be able to test how the sun would affect it.

That looks so clean man! Pays off to not cheap out when your being cheap. Get big gallon cans and a good sprayer and it will turn out great!

I do this for a living now and what i learned is to do things right the first time and not to stingy with plastidip.

Trim, Wheels and other small things use aerosol can. Anything bigger use the gallons and HVLP gun. You can do the job faster, cleaner and avoid streaks that i always see on people's hoods and roofs because the can has too narrow of a spray pattern.

This is my issue with Plastidip.....ive dipped 3 sets of my wheels black and after about a month they turn into a trainwreck...no chips or peeling...they just get way to dirty fade badly. Also its really hard to clean because of its rubbery type consistency. I dont know, id love to dip my car matte black but im just afraid itll be a big waste after a month or two.

Buy Simple Green and a Dip Washer to clean dipped wheels
