I will let you know how they do over time. I plan to clean them with car soap and a soft mitt and keep them polished with wax. I hope they will last a while hence the reason why I used so many coats.
I can't wait to put my 33" tires and lift on. It's going to look even meaner.

I used 2 cans primer, 2 cans paint, and 1 can clear coating. When using the spray can gun handle to allow you to manage how much you spray out. Cost $38 for the spray paint, sand paper, and spray can gun handle. Bought the paint at AdvanceAuto and the sand paper and gun handle at Lowe's.

Up close...no you cannot tell unless you feel it. It feels a little less smooth than the original finish, but no you cannot tell and I'm a perfectionist about these types of things. I will post up better pics on Friday/Saturday once I've waxed the Jeep.
