Hey Randall, how many can did you end up using on the steps, and how about the front end?

I bought 3 cans and used 2 1/2. I wanted to make sure that I had a thick enough coating to all the debris hitting the bumper.

The ease of the peeling was awesome too. Perfect lines to peel leaving about quarter inch of room.

Any updates to how this us holding up to the road debris/bugs we have in the springtime in TX?

Also, what grill is that?

Love the look!

Front end is holding up great, only problem I have encountered is on the running boards. I am guessing high pressure washer lifted part of the plasti dip so I ended up pulling the paint off the boards. Going to powder coat the boards.
