I wanna do my hinges on the doors and hood also the the whole grill and headlights and possibly the interior. I want your guys opinions pros and cons, if you loved it or regreted doing it and if you can post your pics of the jeeps that you lined or dipped. Im looking for a more textured look and dont see in the near future wanting to peel it off.

Thanks in advanced nick

 

I used DupiColor bedliner on my grille. Used 1.5 cans, about 4 coats. It covered nicely, has good texture, and was inexpensive.

As you stated, the major difference is being able to remove the PlastiDip.

 

i plastidipped the middle cowling and trail rated badge, duplicolor bed lined the front grill, rustoluem bedlined the hinges, and duplicolor low gloss black engine enamel on the wheels.

I love the plastidip, but its difficult, for me at least, to get it perfect, especially if you are using painters tape or screwing or bolting anything to the dipped surface. (it likes to twist around and bubble up). However, i have taken advantage of the undoable aspect of the plastidip. Everything i have listed above i did with plastidip first to test the look. For things like the badge, do NOT tape right up agaist the surface. A film will form between the tape and the surface and will peel off and you won't get a sharp edge. Instead, tape off the area around and leave like 2-3 inches of paint exposed around the badge. Just spray away, yes right onto your pretty and in my case 2 month old JK. Use at least 4-5 coats and make them light, dont want to goop it on there. Once its dry, just carefull peel off the area around badge and it should look perfect. Same idea for hinges, jeep logo ect.

That being said i like the bedliner better for the grill and hinges for chip resistance. One wrong move went taking the doors on and off and it will most likely bubble or scrape off the plastidip. It's still good stuff tho. I know a guy who dipped his wheels and beats the piss out of it and its still on there.

For the bedliner, no experience with Rhino. The duplicolor and rustoleum are about $8 a can at autozone (dupli) and lowes (rustoluem). I have used both and think the rustoleum has a little smoother and isn't as heavily textured. However, you can make it more or less textured depending on how far away you hold the can. Again, want light coats here. All 3 of these products blend pretty well with the plastic fenders as well.

My advice is, if you don't have a lot of experience spraying (Like me 3 months ago) start with the plastidip and get used to getting nice even coats. When i lined the grill the first time with Duplicolor i got a little close with the can in one spot and it didn't dry with a uniform texure. Ended up using chemical stripper and it went down to the bare factory plastic!!! lol not a huge deal but still.

 

thanks for the feedback
