Sweet! Looks good!

How many coats did you end up doing? I did 4. Seems thick enough.

I like how you did the whole bracket. I taped mine off and immediately wished I had did the whole thing.

I'm blown away as to how well this hold up. I'm curious about the lower hinge part as well. Have a few chips myself.

Hard to say. I think the stuff is pretty durable but it is also made to peel off. If the edges get caught or snagged it will peel right off. Nice thing is you can try it fairly inexpensively.

one trip down the gravel road...... less then 25mph and only went 2 miles three chips... nice thing is quick re-mask and black again....maybe not enough coats to start with, i dont know... next step is rock sliders.. looking at LoD's cuz i cant weld and dont feel like paying anyone to do it plus they come powered coated but is it worth the extra to get the zinc enriched ones????? and are they as good as the poison spider sliders??? any help would be appreciated

also how did you plasti coat your jeep emblem


thanks

That's a bummer. I'll test mine out this week.

I just taped off the jeep logo and sprayed. Some people remove it and then put it back on.

I do not have any personal experience with either of those sliders. But I've read some stories about the PS ones bending so bad the doors cannot be opened.

I actually really like my ACE rails, for a variety of reasons. But I am selling them and going with EVO sliders, which need to be welded on.

Good luck!

ok crazy question... But if you put a coat or two of clear over the plasti dip do you think it would help with the minor chipping.

IDK thats a good question...I guess it wouldnt hurt to try cuz if I dont like it I could always just peel it off and try again.. i think rock sliders are the ultimate fix (least that is what i keep telling the wife:D)....
