Vinyl will be better/longer lasting especially if you use power washers/car washes to clean the car & also a little easier for applying it (at least I'd think instead of masking/peeling off the excess dip). Plasti dip is cheap enough but you'd have to hand clean it. Just my opinion on either.

I just got some great vinyl off of ebay just search it there if you want.. It was 1 of the "bubble release" versions, stuff goes right on with no bubbles, just apply (heat to stretch if needed) & trim to fit.

Ah gotcha, guess it goes either way then.. I'm sure the application of it has a big play in what happens after too..
