I bedlined my grille, light covers and front bumper... love it .... It never ceases to amaze me what a little bedliner and proper motivation can accomplish on a Jeep!

How long did it take fumes to disipate after you put the top back on? If there even was s fine smell.. I love the duplicolor bedliner, I probably keep them in business by buying half of there supply, haha. How many coats did you do, and aboug how many cans did you use? Thanks!

Can't speak about the plastidip fumes, but fumes from the duplicolor bedliner were pretty bad for a couple of months. Really bad if it sat in the hot sun. Once gone however, it really looks great. You forget how cheap and bad the white looks.

The fumes of the plasti dip were gone in about 2 days. Left the windows down while parked at night. If the weather was a little warmer I would just leave the top off for a couple days. I chose the plasti dip because it's easily removed if I didn't like it or if I just want something different haha.

Just an update. It's been about 2 months now and the dip is doing just fine. Probably one of the best cheap mods I've ever done.
