    I have mine done. It hasn't been on there but a couple of month, but has held up well. Plus if it starts peeling bad just redo it...

    Did you tape off around the flares or take them completely off first?

    Pretty productive weekend. Pasti-dipped my interior console, grill, back bumper, wheels and badges. Also deleted the mud flaps. Very happy with it all:

    ^ The grille was the only hard part. Not hard really but didnt come out very even the first time so I stripped it off and re-did. Took about an hour and a half and part of a bottle of Goo Gone to clean it and reapply. :(

    Helps to watch plasti-dip video from youtube to get a good idea of how much each layer will cover. (Dont freak out and over spray when it still looks a little like a zebra after the second coat :D)

    Thanks for all of the advice here! Next up, new Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH HU....

    Just taped off around them about an inch above the flares. Dip it, take the tape off and peel the excess dip, it will break and leave a perfect edge at the edge of the flare where the fender meets the flare.

    I have found nothing in spray cans at my local HD or Lowes other than black. I ordered gunmetal and clear.

    Derp or rattle can paint the chrome? thoughts?

    Also - anyone have a simple How To for removing the grill? I can probably figure it out but if someone has it written - I'll gladly reuse. THX
