Durability of plastidip in Winter conditions
Debating on whether or not to purchase the black pro valances for my 19 ORP, until then I'm probably going to plastidip them. For those of you with dipped parts how has it held up in Winter temps, snow, salt, etc? Thanks

I did my valences last summer and they still look good except where some asshat bumped me with their license plate parallel parking. Easier to fix than paint though.

I dipped the grill, emblems, fender flares and the cladding on the doors. This picture was after 3 years in Colorado.

i went from plasti dip to vinyl wrap; my emblems are still plasti dipped, but front and rear valance have been vinyl wrapped. It was plasti dipped before and lasted thru entire winter season, rain and snow.

3 years ago on my Limited, I dipped all the bottom chrome on both rockers, chrome on rear bumper, and the chrome surround of 4runner badge on rear hatch. No issues.
