    Has anyone plastidipped the gray bumper grille on their 2nd gen? If so how did it turn out and how does the plastidip hold up?

    I did my crome grill with plastidip
    aluminum (gray) it's been over a year and I'll leave it through this winter then redo in spring.

    Make sure to use top coat or glossifier both by plastidip that really makes it easy to clean and retains the color longer.

    Thanks. I am just looking to do the lower grille in the bumper black instead of the gray from the factory. Just wasnt sure how it held up on the plastic.

    I did mine in February in black. Didn't like the way the gray plastic looked. Has held up fine so far.

    I plasti dipped my grill and lower lip. I feel like I did it too fast so maybe it would've been better, but my grill plasti would come off every time I washed her. I ended up buy a new grill(Like it way more anyways) the lower lip has been on strong for at least a year or so..
