    i dipped my left rear fender today, let it dry so the glossy look would fade, wasn't a fan of how it turned out so I just peeled it off. i've decided i am going to coat them with Duplicolor spray-in bedliner, and add some additional pumice to beef up the grainy texture a bit. i imagine it will look good as i already did that to my front bull bar, rear bumper, and running boards. it has held up extremely well on the running boards and i drag my feet all over them getting in and out.

    one of my flares on my first gen was cracked so I fixed it and plastidiped it so you can't see my repair, soo I had to do the other 3 so they would match and it looks great! and hasn't peeled off at all after a number of washes

    4 coats seems to be enough, plus if you are going to touch up areas you don't want a huge thickness disparity. 2 weeks, so far no chips. I'm going to trim up the alloy lip to make it a bit more clean.

    I suggest just all Black.

    Don't do the lip as it makes the truck look cheap on stock rims.

    All Black is the way to go!
