Has anyone tried Plasti-Dip on any of their interior plastic trim pieces? Seems like a good way to freshen up the black and to hide wear areas.

Try it and report back how well it looks and holds up. Someone has to be first.

That's what I was wanting to see. I think the peice in the video looks great, before he put on the gloss coat. I really like the low gloss look of the factory finish, but I can't stand all of the little wear marks on the stock stuff that I have collected over the years, especially on the radio bezel. I may give the PD a try soon.
