    That doesn't look that bad. Personally I'm a fan of the silver. But that's just me

    Front cup holder looks great, but heavy use or with larger bottles it begins scraping off. Easy enough to remedy though.

    I only did three coats. If I had done more it could have made it a little stronger.

    Washed my rims a few times since I dipped them. No peeling. Anything can happen though. If you are on the fence just do it and see. If you don't like or it starts to peel, pull the rest off and you are out $5 and some time.

    This weekend I am planning on dipping my rear bumper and 4 badges. I have 2 cans and unable to get more for another 2 weeks. Do I have enough for 3-4 coats?

    I only bought one can and I did 5 coats on my front badge/logo, 3/4 coats on all 3 remaining badges, about 6 coats antenna mount thing (messed up the first time ... same thing with my center shift panel, so about 12 coats), 3 coats for my cup holder tray, and 3 coats ea. for my side view mirrors (today). I rattled it up and seems I'm barely at the bottom.

    sorry also did 2/3 coats on both license plate surrounds.

    keep in mind DO NOT glob it on like you would spray paint. the first coat should be laid as a primer coat, then the next 2/3 your just getting the spots you missed here and there. When you spray too much, it will run on itself, upon drying it turns into a small fragile air pocket.

    I joined the damned today, I plasti coated my truck. Didn't want to get right into the badges, so started with something less critical if I goofed. I painted the lower part of the cab. I didn't like the looks of it since the running boards were removed. Dunno how it will stand up down there close to all the road debris etc. Turned out alright.

    I waited about 10 minutes between coats on all parts dipped. even the last one I waited about 10/15 minutes or so until I replaced the part/took off tape, then cleaned up. Let it sit over night as well before going anywhere.
