Never did like the gray plastic on the Jeep! At least with the Overland I didn't have the cladding on the sides.
Started Plasti-Dippin' the gray plastic today with the rear bumper step pad.
The front grill under the bumper and the rock rails will follow, but not just yet. I have a front receiver hitch coming and will do them when I remove the front bumper to install the receiver.
Before pic, with the gray cladding:
UPDATE!
Rock rails ain't gray no more!

Yeah, I wish I had thought to take a BEFORE pick. That step pad was scratched to hell and was actually a cross between gray and a very dirty, bleached out white...

Second can I picked up yesterday. The one left over from your CAI had enough for the little step bumper pad and about half of the first rock rail. I should have enough in that second can to get the front under grill done when I drop the bumper for the receiver...
Oh and a little FIY, I had a spot on the step pad where the plastic bottom of my golf bag rubbed on it while unloading the bag from the back of the Jeep yesterday, A FULL 28 HOURS AFTER APPLYING IT! Skinned about a 1/8" wide by 3/4" piece of the plasti right off! I don't think this stuff is as tuff as guys are saying!
So when I did the rock rails I touched that up. I washed that step pad well with soap and water and then even used an alcohol prep pad on it. So I decided to hit the rock rails with a coat of adhesion promoter to see if that might have better results.
