If you spray your fenders and bumper they will always look black.

we got the fiance's grill, wheels and side stripes done





My grill, d-rings, angry eyes, stripe and wheels




Dipped a Mountain Edition decal on my stock hood before hail damaged it. I dipped a lot more stuff but that's way too many pics to put up.

How is the Dip holding up on the wheels off-road? Thinking of dipping my wheels but wondering if it will be a waste of time after a couple wheeling trips.

I never had any problems whatsoever with it. The only problem I ever had was when a friend decided to kick it and it tore the dip and put a whole in it.

I dipped my wheels almost a year ago and haven't had to touch them up yet. No hardcore wheeling either, though.

I've got some used Pro Comp wheels that I was planning to paint matte black, but now I wonder if Plasti-dip might be an option. But first, some questions:
1) If I get trail rash, will it be easy to touch up?
2) Any issues with fading over time?

I never had any issues with fading but I did have plenty of issues with trail rash. Each time it happened I would just peel it off and start over, which honestly isn't that hard to do.

I saw a video recently that showed how to touch-up by rubbing a paint thinner over the damaged area to fade out the line between the dip and the wheel and then respraying the wheel with two coats. Eliminates the need to completely peel off and start over.

Good info. And I assume the Plasti-Dip will completely peel off clean if I decide I want the wheels to look original again? Just wondering...
