I will plastidip them instead...

I was working on my golf cart tonight and got a wild hair to paint my tailgate handle and gate cap...pics attached

I will be spray dipping the rest of my bed caps and flares when time permits...these 70+ hour work weeks ain't no joke...im thinking about rhino lining the plastic on my bumpers...opinions?

I don't think plasti dip is any good for bed rails or other high touch areas like that. In my experience it just can't cut it where it's constantly getting touched. It looks great on my dash, and great on my door panels where I don't touch. But where I do it's starting to peel.

This was my main concern. This was basically a trial...we'll see how it goes but im expecting results as you described. It will most likely end up being sprayed with some kind of aerosol bedliner or something as equally durable.

I just got some do it yourself DuPont bed liner spray cans. Did my cowl covers and the steps on the running boards. Pics to follow on my thread soon. Next I will tackle the, bed rails , tail gate cap, bumper step, lower valence on front bumper, and door handles. Do not know about mirrors yet, still debating towing mirrors.

So what would you recommend for bed rails and such?
