    There are a thousand and one posts on this with plasti-dip. All look ok for 5mins, but turn to shit after that. As for anyone who used real paint and preparation that will last, I've not seen any, the work involved to scratch up the chrome cheese grater would be way too much compared to buying an SR black, or Pro knock-off.
