I've always thought about doing this to my silver KJ. I think it looks pretty good, but I'm not sure I'll like it in the long term.

Use platic dip spray stuff. I'm gonna get me a can and do my grill one day. If you don't like it.....peel it off

Heres mine with a black grill I know its not red but may help. I used rustolium flat black paint. It's held up alright there is a few nicks here and there from debris hitting it. When I paint again think Ill use plasti dip. Did my wheels with it and its holding up great!

Here is mine with black grill. I used Duplicolor Bedliner for the grill and the trim on the side. The wheels have been done (Since this pic) as well. I am going to do the bumpers, bottom half of doors and fenders as well. Stuff seems pretty damn tough.

Funny that thread showed I was looking into wraping mine into black. Red KJ also. Plasti dip was my second choice but Ièll look more into it.

Seems it will be hard to get some plasti dip over here. The US version is not legal and the CAN version is out of stock almost everywhere and selling for 20-30$
Any one know if a can is enough for the whole grille?

More than enough, I got 2 wheels with three coats each done with one can plus a little left over.

Why the heck is the US Version illegal? VOC's?? I scuffed and painted mine after doing a plastidip trial. Bugs stuck to it and were hard to remove but I liked the black over the chrome so I ended up painting it with paint.

Saddly I'm in quebec city, everything to make thing easier -_- itès a pain over here to get limited edition or this and that because most of the time they are english only. Some home hardware may have it stock so Ièll go take a look next week.

Because the US version use some chemical that are illegal in canada due to environmental regulation. Seems that we just care much about our planet :icon_wink: Aslo some province require bi-lingual package.
There is a canadian version for plasti dip but it's more expensive and rare as shit. The problem is that all online site like cardip canada don't have the black in stock at all!

I wouldn't do it black but a color more to match the color of the bumper and flairs. I think that would look cool. It is a little more subtle but makes a difference...

Just got done using flat black Plasti Dip on mine. It's drying now. Extremely simple job. I did it on my apartment balcony.

They make Plasti Dip in multiple colors. My KJ isn't red but I recommend the stuff. It looks like its bubbling at first but as it dries that goes away. This is 30 minutes in to drying.

I'll definitely head to home hardware later this week and see if they have some in stock. I'm sure it will be epic on a red KJ.
