    I experimented with it doing the Badges but it made the doors and tailgate a pain in the ass to wash as the wash mitt or sponge would get hung up, peeled that stuff off and went with overlays.

    2 years in, held up well in my opinion. On occasion I use a pressure washer to wash the truck and it hasn't peeled off. Of course i dont spray it close up but not that far either.
    Did the grill surround and the logo. The logo looks a little faded but still ok. The surround had a couple rock nicks or something so I spot sprayed it.
    I recently pulled the grill to do some other work so I just took out the surround and gave it a few more coats on top of the old derp.
    Btw I didnt sand either when I first sprayed them

    After three years, the front valance still looks new. One piece of advice, is to insure there is enough coats, and to spray on a few coats of clear derp.

    I did my emblems on the tailgate and sombrero logos on the wheels in July of last year. They look the same now as they did then.
