Default Sittybilt XRC armored fender repairs

So I bought a set of front and rear armored fenders from a guy locally for $650.00 they were a bit beat up but when I got home I took a can on plasti dip to one and it came out great. Now my question to all of you is do you think this is a logical or even smart repair? I know there going to get beat up but I don't wanna just slap some fenders on that looked all scratched up and have people asking wtf you just got these. How do you guys think it'll hold up through the trails? Oh also first time posting here everything you see about my 2010 wrangler on my profile is what I plan on doing, so far only own fenders and lift.

Cheers

Plastidip = BAD
Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner = GOOD

It will last much longer

Plasti dip is cool to see if you like the matte blaCk color but it won't last, the first tree branch will scrape into it and then it all will pull up. If you want a more permanent solution go with the Bedliner

if you are going to scrape it up on rocks a lot then don't get it powder coated, easier to just sand down scrapped up area and bedline again but if you won't be wheeling it hard then I say go with powder coat bc it will look better then Bedliner

I spent 6 bucks a can at the local auto parts store. I use it on bumpers and sliders..... Powder coat would be a waste of money.
