Hey Jrod. Have you tried the clear dip yet? Someone all but bought out Allerdice, but I did score a can. Haha. I brought my supplies to Pa with me. If by the off chance I get some downtime.
Ps I'll be rolling back on 35s. (A couple of more business days to wait)

I think that would look sweet...I saw a crush orange with that in the bottom. Plasti dip might be worth a try for that area.

I did mine but not as high as most of the rocker panels go mostly just to cover the pinch seem until I get some rubi rails. Just to let you know it's not the strongest thing though in that area. When I went to wash it I couldn't spray it with any kind of water pressure it wanted to peel off. I had to wash that part by hand. I don't mind for my jeep since I know it's a temporary fix but if I was planning on keeping it that way I'd use another more permanent product.

It's been a little over a year since I dipped my fenders, Windshield hinges and cowl. The dip started to look faded, so I figured I'd peel it and redip them. WRONG!!!!! Apparently a year of sun makes this stuff extremely brittle and thin. I did 5 costs and everything, so I know it was thick enough.
WHAT A NIGHTMARE. I have found that spraying WD40 is helping to remove the dip, but its still a time consuming process.
I you have things dipped that have lots of direct sun, I'd recommend either peeling it every few months or adding more coats every once in a while.
