I have a red 98 cherokee my fender flares and bumpers are faded and chalky! Id like to paint them a nice dark black glossy I have stock wheel rims that I also plan to paint black shiny black should i plastidip everything or spray with Rustoleum? I want an all black and red Jeep Cherokee does anyone have any pictures?

My buddy ran Rustoleum textured over a year ago, and to this day, they still look brand new.

I think it might be a better alternative to Plasti-dip. Plasti-dip looks better, but it doesn't hold up as well to scuffs, I don't think.

Decided to go with plasti dip since its easier to remove I sparayed my rims and fender flares down and they came out great I messed up when I peeled the tape away some of the plasti. Dip peeled away too and I resprayed it so its a little bumpy now but its okay it looks better and a nice black from far away.

If you want a more permanent solution use some Krylon fusion spray paint........it's made for painting plastic and works great.

With a heat gun you can re-black all those plastic parts. It turns out quite nicely.

Rustoleum several reasons 1 use a gloss black more forgiving if used off road. 2 cost. 3 It touches up easier than any other product without showing up where.

I use it everywhere bumpers mostly front that really takes a beating the most. Wheels get scratched up on rocks and tree limbs, differentials, wheel wells I bought it buy the case at AutoZone when I first bought my XJ its all gone now.

If you are sure of what color you want, I would use actual paint. I just used plastidip on my entire jeep because I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with flat green or desert tan and it makes it easy and cheap to see for yourself how you like it.

Both paint and plastidip are easy to touch up. Plastidip (obviously) is more forgiving of mistakes because if you don't like it, wait until it dries and peel it off.

Paint is tougher, and easier to touch up. If you take the Jeep wheeling much, the plastidip wont last. Had to peel my plastidip off within a week, and spent more on it than it would have cost me for paint.

All of those parts are pretty easy to come off. I'd prefer removing over taping any day.
