Keep in mind a thousand dollars will buy you a thousand dollar paint job.

Shop around read some reviews and see what you can find out.

from their website:
"Plasti Dip is a multi-purpose, air dry, specialty rubber coating. It can be easily applied by dipping, brushing, or spraying. Plasti Dip protective coating is ideal for a broad array of do-it-yourself projects around the home, garage, garden, and elsewhere. It protects coated items against moisture, acids, abrasion, corrosion, and skidding/slipping, and provides a comfortable, controlled grip. Plasti Dip remains flexible and stretchy over time, and will not crack or become brittle in extreme weather conditions. It has been tested and proven in temperatures from -30°F to 200°F."


So what do you mean when you say "the whole car"?

If you preped the car properly and put enough coats on it should last you years

I would take that as "The WHOLE Car" was sprayed with plastidip.

Probably done with a rattle can and not enough coats to make it thick enough to last.

Go to dipyourcar.com and buy a kit with the dip. It comes with the sprayer and plastidip for a very reasonable price
