JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

plastidip'd the whole Jeep

The only thing i dont like about plastic dip on the outside of the vehicle is that it comes off easy. One rock or pebble or even a stick will tear the dip

From what I've read that would be the drawback for me too - one trip to a trail and it'd be a mess...

I love the flat/matte finish look though -

DipYourCar's YouTube channel shows how to patch up holes. I'm not going to search for the video, but it's out there.

Btw, I like it. I've been a flat finish fan ever since I saw a charcoal primer 80s C-10 when I was a kid.

Great job and it looks good to me. I wonder how this stuff holds up on the interior. Might just experiment myself.

Thanks! I'm not sure how it would hold up in the high traffic areas. I think it would just peel up. You would probably be better off bedlining it. Just my opinion. Maybe others can post what they think.

One thing I can tell you guys is that in order to get a little piece of it up to tear it off...takes a lot of work. If you get a good 5-6 coats on whatever it'll take more than you think to get a tear in it. it also protects your paint. So if you get a limb or something up against it, it might tear the dip but your paint will be fine. It's also a quick fix if something happens. Everyone looks at the negative part of it when the pros out-weigh the cons most of the time.

Everyone acts like it costs a fortune for this stuff.
