Another satisfied PlastiDip customer. I did my stock 18" wheels, my step bars, and my emblems. I even did my hitch and ball with some leftover. For my backup camera emblem, I popped off the ford oval and then painted the frame/pedastool. I wanted to keep the blue ford logo but cut down on all the other chrome.

I couldn't be happier with the outcome, this stuff is great! I just hope it stands up to car washes and wiping down the wheels and stuff. We'll see!

Did my center caps on my wheels and the reflectors on my mirrors and it has held up through everything, even the automated car wash!

Lucky...

Plasti-Dip the inside of your headlight might not be the best idea.

Its a Rubber Compound, and its in direct heat from the bulb, and its Inside the headlight anyways... you could just painted it...
