I just have part of my grille done in it, and its holding well but in a fairly well protected area. Brasscatz has the bumpers and flares done on his.

I'm actually pretty surprised at how well it holds up, did my bead locks and so far haven't had it peel off, even after a good bashing in the deep snow all yesterday. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/18/c760d2cc5e2619f02e194dd6a1a03945.jpg

Not for sure how it'll hold up to hitting trails.. but I know it all depends on the prep work, as any paint or coating would.. I got co-worker who has coated his rims and bumpers on his Silverado 1500.. his bumpers were the factory "chrome" and when he coated them in Plasti-dip, he didn't do any prep other then washing it... and it does pretty well overall, other then a few rock chips here and there...

Holds up pretty good actually. Yeah, it chips and peels a bit in places, but honestly I've just cut off the excess and resprayed over it again lol. It's far from a permanent covering, bit it'll get you by until you decide to paint it completely

If I remember correctly, most areas just got washed. I wanted a removable paint in case I didn't like the black. There are a few places that I didn't prep at all and just sprayed away
