Default How is your Plasti Dip holding up???

For everyone out there that has plasti dipped either their wheels or bumps or whatever.... How is it holding up in the summer sun? I just washed the dirt off of my wheels today and now it looks like the plasti dip has sun-faded pretty bad. I just thought it was the dirt for the county roads before making them look lighter colored than when I dipped them.

Any info or tips for getting them back to black without redipping them would be helpful.

I said the other day on another forum that I just took Krylon Fusion paint for plastics gloss black and sprayed right over my plasti dip on my front bumper. It looks like a paint job, shiny and all. I've heard people talk about it but wasn't really sure until now. Now you can still peel it and it looks better

My rims are holding up fine, but think I am going to paint over them with some gloss black, my front bumper I took off because it was peeling off everywhere from bugs hitting it, and my rear bumper just started to peel up from powerwashing it.
