I like the cream whites found on mini's. also, I like the brown metallic found on VW cars that looks like chocolate almost. and finally, depending on what look you're going for, there has been some talk lately about the "Tiffany's" light blue, which I think is a pretty nice looking blue...

I am guessing plasti dip will last 1-2 years at the most especially at the front end where it meets a lot of rock chips. But when you get sick of white, you can easily do another color for about $250. Hell a lot cheaper than vinyl and it is easily reversible.
There are even repair kits if there is a chip on the plasti dip

[QUOTE=Mookie254;7354690]thanks for the advice bro. will it save me some money this way? and also if i paint over an existing color, will the color come out different from the color i choose?
It would save u money yes but no bodyshop would strip the whole car unless the paint was cracking or extremely oxidized. Most of the time the car will be sanded down with 320 to 500 grit sandpaper and then primer sealed right before painting. This makes the whole car one uniform color pallet to add whatever color base coat color u decide. Plus, primer sealing the car fills all the lighter scratches and smaller chips they might have missed in prepping the car for paint.
