I also called two places that do Plastidip, one said he charge me $850 and the other was $1750.

I like Plasti-dip, I plasti-dipped quite a few parts on my Van and think I might do a couple of the black Trim Pieces in Plasti-dip. However my one reservation about it is you can't cut lines or two-tone with it very well, and unless you layer and layer coat after coat onto itself, it's hard to take off. Meaning if it isn't thick layered, it isn't strong enough to come off in one continuous piece. It ends up being lots of tiny tiny pieces which end up taking forever to take off and look terrible in the process. Also the area around the doors ended up peeling from legs brushing against it when getting in and out of the Van and the area around my gas cap started to peel/fade because of the fumes and occasional spillage. But that was really to be expected.
Other than that I think it's a great product and I'm sure a professional shop that applies the stuff for a living would know how to do it better than myself who was more DIY kinda guy.
