I did Plasti dip. Came out great, used about 5-6 light coats. When/if it wears out I'll peel it off and actually paint them. I like the look. Plasti dip is a little more difficult to clean though.

I did not paint my hood vents.... of course I don't have any to paint Ha. I'm wondering if you can paint over the plasti dip. Much eaiser to put it back the way it was if you don't like the color
