So after searching to the end of the Internet and back, with almost no pics and info.. I finally manned up and painted over my plasti dip. I used a glass black paint and I must say it looks 400% better than it was. From only about a 5 foot glance you wouldn't notice a color difference from my black paint. Looks amazing. I highly recommend it

I did my bed caps and it did not hold up very well. Do you have to use a lot for it to work.

Great now I have to plasti dip something. Lol. I think I'm going rims. Is there a way to have them shine or is it just flat black?

There is a glosser that plastidip makes. Also some members have said using tire shine works for a period of time.

So I got outside and took a couple of photos of the painted gloss over the plasti dip, sorry they're not that good.. iPhones don't take the best pics

The straight on shot of the front bumper is really how they look idk why it looks so different in some shots lol.
