I'm going to plastidip my factory fender flares. The guy who owned my truck before me just spray painted them and probably used a crappy paint because it's all starting to peel off. Might do it to my front grille as well. Any recommendations/advice on plastidip before I get to it? I've never used that stuff before.

Looks good!

LOL You must be a lot of fun on Thanksgiving, with all those parades to rain on.

Make sure the area to be painted is completely dry. Sprayed the wheels on my commuter car as they were pretty rusty, didn't get all the water off and it bubbled, just peeled it and redid that one wheel. Has held up for a month or so great.

Sand all the old paint off! I plasti-d over my spraypainted back plastic on top of my bumper and the Plasti is actually peeling the paint off and flaking
