No doubt, you da' man. Great idea, thanks for posting it! Oh, and as another poster mentioned, if you're a JKU, get two rolls...
It's not really that it looks great (although it does) as much as I like the fact that I *don't* notice it - the ugly pinch seam I always noticed and it drove me nuts!

I used VHT Epoxy paint. Self Primming, All weather and Rust and Salt resistant. Good to 250 degrees F too
Using blue painters tape and old newspaper I masked off all three locks, Scuffed the surface (scotchbrite) of each lock, wiped clean then applied two thin coats.
Same process for the Antena except I removed it.
I actually did this back on June 5th of 2011 and it still looks good.
The silver on the locks and antena just didnt work. All I need now is to change the stock rims to black and I will be happy with the look!

If ur trying to prevent the seatbelts from flapping, i found the best fix was to buy cheap seatbelt shoulder belts and velcro them around the seatbelt where it extends from the plastic - dont velcro too tightly - and its a permanent fix, and isnt visible. I can post pics if u want.
