    Do you guys think it would be a good idea to do a couple coats of Clear Gloss after plasti-dip on the lower valance?
    Maybe give it some pertection and shine to it? Just a thaught, tell me what you think! :)

    I did that with my wind deflector on my ski racks and it's holding up really well. I used Rustolium flat clearcoat.

    cool! but im thinking about using a gloss clear, or would a satin clear look better?
    I think the gloss would look kinda good...

    Good question, I personally like the satin look better but it would be nice to see how a plasti dip would look with a gloss finish.

    ^ you should be able to do it with about 3 cans... One for the grill and two for the rear bumper.

    Actually I barely had enough for the rear bumper with one can but decided to be extra generous with and extra coat.

    I bought 3 cans and have half of one left over. I did the rear bumper, front grill and all the "emblems" on the door/tailgate. Hope this helps.

    Just did the spare last night after reading this thread. Didn't even tape off the tire! After some dry time I just peeled it right off the tire. I painted the hubcap too. Just scored around the emblem with an exacto knife and it peeled right off the chrome emblem. Looks good IMO.
