I really don't get the world's obsession with plastidip. Use paint; a rubber coating won't last long on something you step on.

Agreed. Don't do it. I used cheap spray on bed liner... Basically plasti dip with more texture... And lasted all but 3 weeks. Plus it's a pain to remove once it starts peeling

i used bedliner rubberized spray.. which is basically plastic dip.. i think it came out great.. i did spray the step parts with black trim pain and flat clear.. so that should be fine for the long term..

i prepped it good.. took it off the truck...


I was so impressed with plastic dip, I am in the process of dipping my wheels now.. I'm stoked so far.. so easy to use.. really tough to mess up.. i hear people saying it last for a long time and durable.. except in this thread apparently..

guess i will find out soon enough..

I used plasti-dip back in 2011. Once I liked the coat I applied, I clear coated it. Now in 2016, its still great looking!

It's been a while - how's this hold up over time?

plastidip is garbage... Rust-Oleum high performance enamel has been really fantastic.

I off road, I step on it regularly, and it just holds up really well. If I get on the rocks, a light touchup and good as new. Its been about 4-5 years since I did it, but it's solid. Impressive for a rattle can paint job.
