I did my Harley grille almost a year ago. Just the chrome bars. Still looks like I did it yesterday! These are the only pics I could find.

Do bugs not knock the paint off?

No bug problems or issues in the car wash. I have a thin coat and then 3 normal coats on my grille.

I was wondering that myself. I would like to do the chrome bars on mine, but the bugs here in south Louisiana are killer...I usually spend more time washing the bugs off the front end than I do washing the rest of the truck.

I have had bugs on my plasti dipped grille several times but they wash off just the same as before. I just wouldn't advise scraping them with anything. As I said before, I still can't find one single blemish on my grille since I sprayed it. I honestly didn't expect it to hold up so well. I guess that's why it's such a popular mod.

Bugs wash off with soap and water.
Bug & Tar remover will peel Plastidip...
