Yes it is! I did my fenders, jeep emblem and trail rated badge. Next is rims, maybe hinges. My wife wants me to do the rims on her Mini Cooper next. I think I'll be plasti dipping for the rest of the year!

For those of you that have had it for a while, how's it holding up to getting dirty and cleaning? I plasti-dipped some parts on an old VW I had, and I found that after a month, the black turned dark brown from dirt, and it was getting damaged if I tried to clean it let alone scrub it. I'd like to hit a few spots on my JK with it, but I don't want to peel it off and respray every time it gets dirty.

I think the plasti-dip takes a lickin' pretty darn good.

How many coats did you put on? I had it on my grill and it held up fine through and pressure washer and just regular washing with a sponge.

I did all the chrome on my SRT8. I love the look and got tons of questions at the track.
