Per MB's suggestion I figured I'd start a plastidipped grill thread. So let's see 'em. If you've dipped your grill post your pics.

Mine is dipped. It looks almost the same just no shine to it.

Lucky you guys with newer models where your grill isn't part of the entire bumper. I tried to dip mine once and it was a pain.

how does it hold up in car washes?
I wanted to plasti dip the grill but was worried it wouldn't last through the auto car wash I go to weekly. Have yours lasted?

http://www.getflexseal.com/www.getflexseal.com I sprayed some light covers with this stuff. A guy at Ace Hardware told me about it. It seems to be good stuff. I may paint my Patriot grille with it.

This looks really nice with the push bar, I have a silver Jeep too and thought about dipping, I wasn't sure how it would look with the silver.
Can I join the club with you, I don't think we live in the same area so we won't run into each other.

A lot of prep work., I had white rims with my mk3 Jetta and painted them black. A lot of coats. A lot easier if the rims are off the tires as well.
Make sure they are clean first and sand them down nice so the paint ahs something to stick to. Use 1000grit, wipe away the dust from sanding.
3 coats front and back and 3 coats of clear coat.
Here is an old pic of what they looked like. Hope I don't get introuble for posting a non jeep.

How many cans did it take you guys to dip your grills? I want to dip mine but I wanna make sure I have enough before I begin so I don't have to run to the store with wet plasti dip and newspaper all over the front of my riot
