    finished it up and plasti dipped the grill surroundings, and now im thinkin i just need the chrome on the bumpers painted to look final and paint my grill guard.

    i have two nice holes and slits in my bottom valance for the guard to fit snug. eventually the bumper will be gone and ill have a custom one. so not too worried about it.

    I am wanting to plasti dip the chrome on rear and front bumper, but unsure about how it will hold up on them.

    Anyone clear coat over there plasti dip
