Yeah, I have the fenders and bumpers done on mine as well. Maintenance is kind of a pain if you spend a lot of time in the dirt... but overall, definitely worth the look.

Did you remove the fender flares from the truck to do it? How many cans did it take to do all 4?

Ended up leaving the fenders on in fear of breaking the tabs. And I'm not sure how many rattle cans it would take as I had a friend paint it at his shop with a gun. I had read that a couple people had issues with blotchy or uneven layers on the fenders and decided to be lazy and have a professional take care of it.
Overall, really happy with the result. But ultimately going to have them painted matte or gloss once they start getting torn up a little worse.

Just dipped my bike yesterday in matte white, took right at a gallon with the HPLV
Would like to see pics of the bike reassembled...
Is that just the dip or with glossifier?
I did this in one afternoon. Used two cans of white because it took that many layers to cover up the grey. One can of black to do the other side. Two cans of gloss total on all four flares.
The wheels I layed down plastidip gloss then sprayed regular gloss paint over it. They held up about three weeks due to me not prepping them properly and were a gigantic pain in the ass to remove.
Once I get home, I'll be plastidipping everything black with gloss slowly and properly to get rid of all the gray.
I wish I was driving right now.

Did you do black on one side and white on the other side just to see which you liked better?
