Default plastidip'd the whole Jeep
Yesterday I started plastidiping the jeep. Taping off really took the longest. So far I really like the look and it was fairly easy to do. Let me know if you have any questions.

How much PlastiDip did it take? I was thinking about Rhino-Lining my whole jeep, but this seems a lot lighter and could be peeled off if you change your mind.

Wow looks great, would like to see how it does against trails and brush scratches. Thought about doing this to my jeep for deer season but didnt have time

That looks really good, I've wondered what that would look like...

It took about 1 3/4 gallons. I think it will hold up pretty good to small branches after it fully cures. I'll be making a trip back home to Alabama for new years which is 680 miles so that should be a pretty good test.

Thanks. It's still on the rubber seals around the glass. But peeling it off the windows was very easy. Kind of like static cling window tint.
