I agree. Personally I would use vinyl instead of plasti dip.

That being said vinyl isn't perfect either. My stripes are vinyl and eventually they will fade according to my vinyl guy. My car is garaged most of the time though so it will probably take longer than most. He told me that once I remove the stripes I would probably be able to see where the came off if they are on there for a while. It will be from the minor scratches though. The area under the stripes won't be scratched but outside the stripe will have micro scratches.

Also, I've gotten a few little nicks in my stripes mostly on the hood. I think it's due to the engine heat softening up the vinyl and then if a rock or something hits it the nick will happen.
