I originally plasti dipped mine, and it lasted long and held well. However the only issue was it stained really easily. So i just went ahead and spent the 10 bucks and used the rustoluem bed liner.

ok what's the opinion
Got hail damage on my hood and window frame. Going to get it Line-X'ed black, just the hood and window frame.... I know it's a thread for grill black out, but no one has done a hood yet. I think keeping my grill white will look great. We get really bad hail here all the time and everything gets damaged. So I don't want to put a new hood on just to watch it get trashed again and cost more money. So I'm going to get it done, but I'm curious to see what everyone else's opinion is.....so let it rip LOL
I attached a rendering of what it might look like, of course the texture and etc will look different. ( wheels, tires etc additions will come as money comes all in time )

Did mine, love it... Hell, liked it so much that I bedlined the ugly white hella light covers too!.. I used Duplicolor Bed Armor. I did have a few issues with it building up on the nozzle as i was using it though. It would build up and drop a chunk of goop every now and then. I didn't like that... I've heard great stuff about the Rustoleum version. Turned out nice when it was all said and done though

I would go with MONSTALINER, a DIY kit. Cool colors (like 31 flavors).

I have Jeep Green and just did mine last weekend ( I used plasti-dip) .....I'm still on the fence if I like it or not, I think it looks cool, just not sure if it's for me! I could always peel off and have the original grill again. I gave my Jeep the mean eyes look using the plasti-dip also! An inexpensive mod.
Paint with a rattle can it is staying on, with plast-dip you can peel off! Go with what makes you happy!

I know for most this is overkill but I had my grill and the leading edge of the hood & quarters Rhino-Lined 3 years ago. After about a month of normal driving and exposure to the sun it dulled down to a flat black. No chips, no stains, no worries!
