I posted this in the other thread, and the picture is computer generated, but...

can something like this be done? something like satin stripe, where you have matte plasti-dip and the original paint coexsist...

Yes. On www.dipyourcar.com (as posted above), look at the "monthly competition" winners threads posted in the forum.

How much did you spend on the plastidip? Pretty neat and I am not really an aftermarket mod type usually.

Did you do this yourself or someone in NYC? If someone else, who? where? Price?
