The issue is plasti dip itself wont create a smooth texture on the surface as real paint job or vinyl. Speaking of glosst, nothing beats the real paint job. I'll post some photos and you know what I mean

The roof is vinyl, the wheel is plasti dip. 2 different type of texture on the surface. Even thou I didn't use glossifier on my wheel but the guy at dipyourcar.com on his tutorial video for dipping wheel, he said graphite metallizer (the color I used on my wheel) acts just like glossifier. So that is the kind of shinny you can get. If you put more coats, maybe you get a bit more shiny.....but you will see the different obviously between dip and vinyl.
I think you should just try the dip on your diffuser first, then decide if you like that kind of gloss or not |

I dont have a lease but I figure when I sell mine, dealer would ding me if I really do a paint job on my car, so I just go with vinyl. Vinyl also can be peel off when you don't want it anymore

Yea, since you already ordered the dip, try it out. It's pretty fun to do too. I use it on my wheels and my badge. Window trim, door handle, diffuser...all vinyl
