Can anyone tell what this coating is from the picture?

 

My guess? Plasti-Dip

 

Spray on rubberized rocker coatings such as

 

Looks like the factory "trim" that is on my parts Jeep. You can see it's peeling just like yours.

 

Nice, thanks! I was just looking for something similar to touch it up with. Gonna pick some up at O-O-O-O'Reilly tomorrow.

 

Yep. It can probably be peeled off with some help from a heat gun. I just did that with my 96. Took maybe all of 20 minutes. There was clean paint underneath. If it's the same as what I peeled off, forget blending and matching it. It's actually a plastic film with an adhesive. It's not going to sand well and nothing is going to adhere to it very well. You'll have a mess.

If you want the same look, peel it off and coat it with something new.

 

And if it is Plasti-Dip as Dave suggested, a spray of WD-40 or other similar spray will start to dissolve it. Just ask my old Fiesta painted in the stuff.

 

Wish I had seen this earlier. Thought about bustin out the heat gun but didn't know enough to know that it wouldn't damage the paint. I just followed can instructions, did prep sol and no scuffing right on top of my old stuff. Came out pretty dang nice. Also painted the bumpers black (spray paint not with rocker guard), put in new headlights, and added a new chrome grill:

 

I hope it holds up!


The heat gun was easy. I just kept it about 6 inches away. Otherwise it melted the stuff.
