Smile Rear Window Trim Plasti Dipped (Photos and Video)

I get the feeling when you can't find something anywhere online, its a good opportunity to be the first. I found a couple people on here talking about it, and one poorly taken photo, so I decided to document how I Plasti Dipped my rear window's trim.

As many of you have experienced, this trim turns into crumbly gross, greenish-brown crap thanks to El Sol. I made it my weekend project to fix this. Below are the before and after pictures. I am currently making a YouTube video detailing it all. I noticed many on here aren't fond of long posts so watching the pictures move may be easier.

Since I had trouble loading the pictures, here is my video... A little long, if you want to just see the before and after pictures fast forward to the last 10 seconds.

Great vid and great job - well done sir ! My roof rack is also starting to peel and I've thought in the past that Plasticoat would be a good solution.

How well is this holding up? Collecting much dirt?

Holding up very well. I'm surprised and impressed. So much so I plasti dipped my from bumper (chrome part).

Yesterday I went off road til the road ended in something I woulda got stuck in. I backed up with branches smacking the trim the whole time... No tears of anything.

And no, no dirt clinging what so ever...

I would recommend looking into bed liner instead though... I know it's permanent, but it looks as good but a lot more tough.
