What pieces exactly? Guessing the normal door switch panels and center console panel? Would work like anything else would. Just make sure they're free from previous cleaners/oils/etc and make sure the place/person knows what they're doing. Takes practice to get it right.

Only recall one person every hydro diping. His SN was Kumar something? But he hydro dipped his rear emblems CF and I bought it off him. It was a very nice finish that was smooth and glossy, Just like paint. If you cna find a nice shop its def worth it.

I've been throwing the idea around about hydro-dipping my engine covers.
