Came out nice! You going to dip the Jeep emblems too? I did, along with the Trail Rated badge. And swapped the stock antenna for a shorter black one. Got rid of ALL the silver :rock:
Jeep emblems next

Wheels take a beating. How does this process hold up after a few months of mud, dirt roads and washing?

It holds up great! I Plastidiped my chrome super Duty wheels 3 1/2 years ago, and I recoated them 6 months ago because it was finally looking a little thin.

PlastiDip holds up pretty well, but if it’s done right and gets scuffed, you just peel and respray. It doesn’t take too long to do a wheel.

On a different note, got the SRT wheels powder coated while the engine is out. $50/wheel is a great price. Too many places charge a LOT nowadays.

Thanks for helping me solve my dilemma regarding my Sahara wheels! How many cans did you use, and what color is that?

3-4 cans and 1 can of plastidip glossifier to add a satin shine. Over time the sun fades them and this protects them. Just do light coats and more you add the glossier it will get.

My first Plastidip project came out great, I must say!

Is that color a graphite or anthracite color? How about matte with a glossifier or just a straight gloss? Thanks

Just plain black, I got compliments on the wheels all the time.

I’ve been on the fence with the Sahara wheels and plasti dip - I think I like the look of the glossy version more than matte but again not sure since I have sting gray

I know this is a wheel thread but plasti dipped the fog light housings makes a difference too!!
