Default Well I tried Plasti-Dip.....

I decided to try Plasti-Dip on the chrome grill and nerd bars on the H3. Only reason I did it is so I can peel it off if I don't like it. Here are the before and after...

it does look great however it won't last. I did my wheels and they peeled in the first car wash.

Its a great product to try a color change out and if you don't like it just peel it off but for permanent things it just can't hack it.

How is it holding up? I'm really considering on doing this to my H3.

@Great White, I just washed it in a automatic car wash, it is holding so far. @ Seth, The tires are Cooper Discoverer S/T 305/70-16, and I just cranked the torsion bars up until it was 1/2" lower in the front.

Thank you. I have owned many vehicles (mostly muscle cars), the H3 is my favorite I have owned. I originally bought it just because of it being a 5-speed. I have grown to respect the H3's off-road ability.... They are great vehicles.

I've had plastidip on my wheels now for about a year. I wheel it 2-3 times a month (nothing serious) and wash it once a week and it's held up without peeling. It's all in the application.

Application is key. I also used a matte clear on mine to keep gloss down.

I've had mine done for a year now, a few touch ups are going to be needed. Fender flares and grille. The high traffic areas, especially as she's my winter and wheelin rig.
