I'll be dipping a few vehicles for car shows this spring/summer for some guys in a car club I know. Should be interesting to see/hear peoples reactions to the dip job's. Be interesting to see if they think its normal paint or vinyl.. and don't even ask if it's dip.
I think it is easy to tell in person, especially on a whole car, but it is still cool. I went over to an event at DYC a while back and looked at some of their cars and was actually a hair disappointed and places where you had to tape off, at then peel the tape before it dries. I like with Dip is and what it can do, but it is not a substitution for a paint job like OEM or a specialty shop. It is fun and novel...different and that is what I do it for.

But for wheels it works really good and hard to tell as the rim of the wheel hides any issues.
