Looks good! I used it on my spare to make it somewhat match my new wheels and also black out my emblems. Once its cured its pretty strong stuff so I would think it would take small hits fairly well. The nice part is its like adding a layer of protection to your factory paint helping resale Sent from my Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2 |

I'm surprised I'm saying this about a $100 "paint" job, but... That looks awesome! Also, I like the front fender mod- it looks very clean compared to some of the hack jobs I've seen elsewhere. I'll be curious to see how it holds up, but my experience with plasti-dip has been pretty good on tools/ax handles/etc. Fading would be my biggest concern. Nice job! |

That looks pretty darn cool. I am contemplating using Duplicolor Bedliner or Plasti-dip on my bumpers, fenders, and lower half of doors.. |

i hope you did thick coats otherwise it is going to be a royal pain to strip the entire thing. thin coats peel off in smaller pieces. other then that, not bad. ive been wanting to do my rims. |

I've used Plasti-Dip on a lot of things. In AZ it dries out and cracks/peels within a few short months. It also fades to dark gray in a hurry. It looks good now though! Just avoid any encounters with brush, low hanging branches, etc. and you might get a whole year out of it. |

looks cool but i could come up with 100 other things to spend about 100 bucks on something that is just going to peel a few months down the road |

Agreed. I do like it though, and it's not permanent. If you really fall in love with how it looks I'd do the whole thing in bedliner. I've seen lots of Wranglers and pickups sprayed in bedliner but never a Liberty. It adds a bit of weight but you end up with a pretty indestructible finish and a unique look. |

Thanks for the imput guys. Im nervous to see how it holds up. It seems to be getting harder in the last few days but im sure I wont try and push the dip past a year from what I've read the longer it stays on the more brittle it becomes making it a pain to take off. I sure do like the flat black though, might just have to paint it after I remove the dip. Meglos thanks for the image now every time I see my jeep that plasti dip fourhead will be all I can think of "NASTY"! |

I've had my wheels dipped for a year. They have a few blemishes but otherwise fine. See alot of salt and mud too. |

I have to say that looks really good! Like Dirtykk said I hope its on there thick. I did my plastic bumpers and flares, when I wanted to take it off it was a royal pita. Ended up dissolving it with paint thinner and lots of rags. |
