I'm so going to grab a can of this and use this instead of a clear coat especially if they have a rubber compound

I bought these Westins from a guy for $40. They were chrome and rusty. I sanded them down pretty good and used two coats of Krylon primer. I then did three coats of Plasti-Dip. I never did have any chips on them.

Wow, look at those Goodyears when they had tread! LOL

Another good point about Plasti-Dip is that it cleans up real well with stuff like Armor-All or something similar because it is basically a rubbery compound.
