So I decided to try out some plasti dip

I did 2-3 coats on the tails and cargo
5-6 on each bumper
3-4 on wiper cowls
3 on all the handles
2-3 on the emblems
5 on the small trim pieces behind each wheel well

Just testing stuff out, seeing if I like it! What do y'all think? Wheels are next!!

PS: sorry about the random LED license plate change picture! Haha

I'd say it all looks good! Do you have any pics of the brake lights on? I'm curious to see how much it affected the light output.

Looks nice man! I wanted to PTM my handles but this looks like an option. How durable would you say this stuff is?

That door handle will wear. Just a warning there. Day to day contact with it. Luckily in the end though since it is just plasti-dip you can always redo it! lol. Looks good overall man.

I've only had them done two days ago so time will tell! However my friend did his Nissan Titans handles and we've beat the crap out of them as far as wear, and the plasti dip is perfectly fine!
