First off howdy. I'm new to the Liberty world but not the Jeep world. Just came from a 99 Cherokee  To a 2010 Liberty  . Not sure what all will be done yet. What do people think about the paint? Anything you think I could add color wise to beef it up. Will be looking into other things. Trying to get a feel for her before I add any lifts or anything. Just did my second fill up. But so far really enjoying it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk |

Plasti-dip the fenders and grill black to start. That would look pretty good with that color. Welcome to the forums |

Plastidip is a aeresol spray just like paint, but it's removable. Kinda like that commercial for flexseal that those TV pitchmen are always trying to sell. If you don't like what you did, you can always peel it off and start over. You can take off the front grill fairly easily with a few push pins under the hood and there are two clips on the outside of each head lamp. Just take the grille off and give about 2 cans of dip and you're good to go. You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot. You can always tint your windows as well. |

Welcome! Agreed. Your wheels and grill would look great dipped. Have a look here for an example on how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zbxB8OKSks |

It'll look much better with the wheels and grille dipped. I have a few coats on my grille and rims, too. |

I would suggest sprayon bedliner instead of plastidip for the grille or fenders. The plastidip in my experience doesn't hold up well to road blast/salt in the winter. It's pretty easy to take the grille and fender flares off and paint them. |

That champagne color is great. Just black out the grill. Just a can of semi-flat krylon is the way to go. The plasti-dip craze is out of control...

I plastidipped as an experiment (luckily) just because I didn't know what I want. Not a long term solution but it is useful for trying something out without committing to it permanently. |
