Default Has anyone tried this rattle can HyperDip paint?

I usually wrap my interior trims very year or so for a different look using vinyl wrap. I was thinking about giving this a go and wondered if anyone else has tried it.

Amazon Amazon

Looking at Piano black - the vinyl wrap in piano black isn't quite cutting it. The OEM trim pieces are prolly out of my price range but I don't think Piano Black was available until 2010 anyway so the center console s different. I thought of hydro-dipping the pieces but the next owner may be Jonesing for the burl wood so I like to be able to undo any modifications.

Anyway it's removable. Random thoughts are welcome

That sort of paint isn't really durable. You may run into some scratches and mars and such like that. Also it isn't very shiny, nor cleanable.

Yep thanks. After your comment I went hunting on the inter web and it's a hard no. I'll try the vinyl since I have it. I have the burl steering wheel though. That will test my skills. Kill this thread

I bought the piano black console trim last year for about $80.00 from the local dealer. Mine is an ‘09…

@arenaej Thank you. I've never seen it available in piano black. Was the part new? do you have a part #? I'm assuming the part numbers change with color.

I think it was a special order that didn’t get picked up. When I took my XK in to the dealer to activate aux audio for the CarPlay install, the parts manager asked me if I was interested…that started a whole thing…found the entertainment center trim on eBay, engine spun glove box and steering wheel trim from Rimmer Brothers…it’s different, but I like it…

The reflection on the PAX seat side bolster made me think for just a second that you dyed the leather a silver to match the dash insert. Just for a second...

I sprayed my hood vents and fender vents with similiar product a few years ago , still looks good. In saying that I might try and peel it off the winter just for a change back to original.

I bought a full set of spun aluminum (piece above steering wheel, radio surround and part by glove box). Prolly had it on for about a week and they live in a box now. Im thinking about recovering it with zebrawood veneer and clear coat, or?

I have the burl wood. If you're considering unloading PM me. I also have the partial burl wood steering wheel. Tossing around whether to swap or not. Options out there are expensive in an case.
