For those of you with plasti dipped trims

How long does plasti dip last on the front end of the car? I'm considering plasti dipping the chrome trim around the DRLs but I don't want to do it unless plasti dip lasts at least a year, before it starts getting chipped etc...

I had plastidip on my stock grill for about 6 months (I changed my grill for an AMG style one) and it never peeled off. Be sure to do multiples coats.

If you're going to do the grille, use an entire can in multiple layers (usually over 8)

Thick dip lasts a long time, thin coats don't last long at all

I'm going to dip the chrome pieces that surround the DRLs. I'll apply multiple coats. Thank you for the tip!

wheels have lost some trim around the edges, otherwise I've had mine for about a year fine. Same with grill.
