Now that I'm in the painting mood, I was thinking about painting the bumpers. Any thoughts?

License Plate Trim
Hey, how did you get the Plasti-Dip to stick to the chrome license plate trim? When I did tried it, the paint came off as I would peel the excess away. I even took an exact-o knife and scored the edge around the trim, but the Plasti-Dip on the trim itself would start rolling back soon after.

My trim was painted a grey color, not chrome. I just cleaned the surface real good and did the exact-o-knife around the trim. The rubber seal around the trim is where I ran into my problem with pulling the excess. I had to peel it off and start over, just give it more coats for thickness and it should be good.

I'm going to try it on my faded plastic unpainted flares and see how it holds up through the summer along with the emblems and license plate trim.

Do it. So worth it. Hit it with some flat clear after, or else it will get stained.

As soon as you so much as touch dirt or mud with it, it will stain permanently. Anyone who says otherwise is full of sh!t or hasn't gotten them dirty with real dirt, yet. I have not found a way to clean it and I have tried everything that's reasonable to try. Basically, If I can't clean em with soap, forget it.

That's when I decided to clear coat the plastidip. It makes it resistant to staining and doesn't have that rubbery "cling to every piece of lint and dust" characteristic anymore.
