Previously I was thinking to put sticker for my power window controller and the centre console since it has scracthes on it, after enquire on few sticker shops, the cost is high.

The this plastic dip come into my mind. But I have few worries before starting to DIY myself...

1. Do I need to remove the whole door panel and dismantle the power window controller to dip it?

2. Since there are switches on the controller, I assume I need to cover those gaps to prevent the paint get inside of it?(might cause the controller wiring gone) Or just spray on it without any cover up?

3. After dipping my interior, will the paint leave some kind of smell inside my interior permenantly?

Any idea whether I can get these tools for DIY in Malaysia?

1st pic is Dip Nozzle and the 2nd is CanGun1.

Beside Plastic Dip, there are few others brands that have similar product such as Aikka. Anyone have tried this brand? Hows the outcome compare to Plastic Dip?

Hi my friend ,
If u ask me plastic dip is it durable n pratical...I would say I rather u spend the money to spray or sticker wrap...plastic dip is not as durable as u heard and seen...if u live at condo or apartment which is not landed how u wash ur car?
Those Indian or Bangladesh don know wat u say..their chemical will damage your dip
How often u park ur car under sun light?
The rubber will adhesion during heat....if the sales person say no..try ask him how many heat did the plastic dip can sustain
Touch up?forget it bro....here they say can free touch up...wen u go for touch up they say is u langar here n there need to pay
We are not 4 season country and our car long term park under sun light when start engine indication 45degreee.....if u dip...with in 6mth no any issue u r the luckiest man in the world
I say so cuz I Sudah kena con

I'm not planning to dip my exterior. Or you mean even interior also won't last long due to our whether condition?

I asked sticker wrapping cause about RM 400 for the centre console, 4 windows controller. Which I think is a bit costly...
