Default Dash Board Dip Kits

Has anyone had their dashboard or console "dipped" with a certain design or pattern. We are looking at doing some carbon fiber in our interior and I found these DIY Dip kits - http://www.camodipkit.com that offer carbon fiber patterns (they also have woodgrain, snakeskin, skulls, and camo dip kits). It seems fairly simple and only costs $99, but I was wanting to see what someone would charge if they did it for you. Anyone know ???

what are you trying to get done?
ive been talking with a shop in VA about getting my AP1 center console and airbox lid done.

airbox lid was gonna be $75 and the 3 piece center console was gonna be a $35 per piece.

i wouldnt do a DIY kit mainly because its something i clearly have no knowledge about.
if you screw it up, youre out $100.

from what i understand, it takes quite a bit of prepping.
sand (the surface has to be smooth so in my case, the little wrinkles in the console would have be smoothed out)
primer
base paint
dip
clear
sand.
