That looks nice, you have to update us on the condition of the dip over time. Might see how that reacts on the louvers in the back. I know those things cant be flawless.

I'll deff report in. It's been a week now and no issues at all. Even with all of the heavy rain we've had here. I only sprayed 3 coats.

Looks good, but why plasti-dip? I've sprayed my Ttop rail with actual PAINT! ...why would you ever want to remove it?
