Default Plasti Dipped Side Steps

Used 2 cans of matte plasti dip. It came out alright. Some spots bubbled up but I was kind of impatient with the first side and didn't let it dry the 30 minutes in between coats. Took my time on the passenger side and it came out great.

I dipped my rims a few weeks ago.... its pretty durable stuff and only fine edges have "peeled" slightly. I would imagine something like step bars that get "stepped" on frequently you'll probably run into peeling where your feet are hitting the bars. All in all though it looks good though! Should have bought the black version of the steps and saved having to dip them :P (unless of course the truck came with the chromes)
