Default Has anyone herculined their fender flares?

Will it stick to plastic and does it look cool? I wanna herculine the whole lower part of my cherokee. Including flares, halfway up door (well, to the line anyway), and my bumpers. Has anyone seen/done this?

That's about all of the pics I have online at the moment. It was black when I got it, then after that wore out it went flat black. That just got to be a pain having to primer over and over again to try and keep it from rusting so it went to get Scorpion lined.
Keep in mind the cowl section and grill shell of the Jeep is plastic and I have had no problems with it trying to come off.

i did the whole bottom of my cummins and the toolbox... gonna do all the inside of the XJ next... dont take it somewhere... do it yourself... get it from walmart cause there cheaper then all the parts stores... dont buy the dang kit either... waste... get one or two of the half gallon things... i did my bottom foot on my long bed and tool box in 3/4 of a gallon... so you only need that half gallon im sure... and get a Dollar paintbursh... cheap one... dollar tree or something... and get to work... i would only use the roller for a truck bed anyways... Save you all kinds of money man... thats all thats in the kit anyways... and the directions say wear gloves... dont ignore that... WEAR GLOVES... that crap dont come off for weeks... i even wear long sleeves now too... sucks... make sure you sand and scuff everything up good too... the more scuffed the better...

That is exactly what I'm planning to do when the weather warms up enough for the application. Did you herculine the screws/bolts to cover the holes? That is my plan and it looks great from what I see.
