So, Today I took the time and actually did a test run with plasti-dip on the rear step pad.
Before I used the plasti-dip the rear step pad was fading and had white looking colorations in it. But, I forgot to take a before picture.
I washed the step pad with water and soap and let it dry then started the process.
I removed the step pad with a flat head screw driver and removed the plastic rivets. Then all you have to do is pull the end piece that faces away from the car up, don't be afraid of breaking it just take it a half a foot at a time and it will pop off rather easily.
Plasti-Dip I used:
While painting step pad:
Final product installed:
I think it looks pretty good, I hope that it holds up well though. If not I will just paint it again.
The total time it took for uninstall, cleaning, two coats, and reinstall was about an hour. Which isn't bad at all.
Just wanted to show you guys a pretty nice looking fix for a faded Rear Back step.
Let me know what you think!
