Hey Guys, Just tried plasti dipping interior parts to see how it looks and how long it lasts. I was too lazy to take the parts out so I taped off what I needed and went to spraying. Just trying to see how a 15 minute project turns out and lasts. Let me know how long your plasti dip lasts on interior parts!

Nice, looks like it could've been a stock option. I've been thinking of doing the same thing since some of my plastic is cracking & yellowing.

As a test I plasti-dipped the mouse on my gaming PC and the coating has held up well so far, so it's good in terms of standing up to constant handling.

I dipped my motorcycle's tank and ran it like that for 3 years. Gripped it like a drunk hugs a toilet bowl. Never came loose till I wanted it too. Thickness is the key.

It sounds like it's truly hit and miss. I have a friend who plastidipped interior bits and it didn't take any time to peel off the high traffic areas (door handles ect). I always use legit interior trim paint if I want it to stay.
