Ok so my wheels have held up to car washes and everyday life, the front bumper pad the same, the back bumper pad easily tears, well my sons shoes tear it up when he climbs in the back ( i just spray over the tear adn fixed).....I decided to take off the fender ones just cause for a change AGAIN. Overall holding up good to normal wear adn tear! The best part is touch up is just spray more over the affected area.

Mine has stayed on. I had to redo the front bumper after our trip through the mountains. I only did one coat the first time, and caught a rock. Just re coated the whole thing a couple more times after, and hasn't had a problem since.

Where do you get that stuff? I checked at Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, and Lowes today and none of them had it.

Opinion - which do you guys think would look better on my truck?

Plastidip for a less aggressive look, or spray on bedliner that would look more on the aggressive side?

I don't go through any super intense terrain but I do hit the trails every few weekends and gravel does tend to get flung up by my tires... so I think I might be starting to lean towards doing bed liner instead.

I'm not positive about where to get it.. My Mother in law brought it back from the States for us. pretty sure it was Home Depot. As for Bed Liner, go for it. This is just a temp solution to get rid of the tan for us. When I scrape up enough dough, I'm gonna get it painted. ( Fat chance now that we bought a brand new Jeep)

Okay there's a Home Depot about 35 miles away. I may look on-line. Anyway, I'm okay with the tan (at least for now) but I have a large fishing rod holder that mounts on the front bumper. It has some white parts like a bait cooler holder that I would like to make black. I had never considered Plasti Dip but that stuff should be just right for it. Thanks.

Believe it or not I went yesterday to the local Lowes paint dept and they told me people ask for it all the time but they don't stock it. I'll probably just order it through Amazon if Home Depot doesn't have it.
