While Hydrodipping is a cool process the results and longevity of the dip does not stand up to toughness at least in car parts

^ Source? I've seen people dip valve covers with great results. I imagine if it can hold up on a valve cover, it'll work just fine on interior trim.

It's the same as waterborne base coat. Which is basically what every body shop in the state of md is using on cars

Saw a few posts somewhere on the interwebs as I was looking into it, but basically if its a surface that has a lot of contact with anything it will fade over time.

Durability against something like constant contact?

It has to be clear coated. Either straight clear, or clear with a flattener mixed in. Base coat itself is not durable at all, waterborne or solvent based

Yea I guess that is what I was looking at, seems like a lot of trouble compared to wrapping a part.
