I just bought a new (to me at least) Countryman. The car is in very good shape but the scuttles did look very dull. I decided to dip them and here is the result.
I love this stuff and I was wondering what have you guys dipped in your Countryman. Let's see some pics.

I've done the wheels, side scuttles, head and tail light rings, mirrors, and badging (wings and lettering). I peeled the mirrors for a redo. I'm planning to take the front bumper off to do a "dip bra" and do the beltline. The only chrome I'm going to have left on Storm is the front grill.
Also interesting note about the wheels. I just had my tires rotated at the dealer and there was no visible damage to the dip. It has been on for about 1.5 months.
I removed the grill and popped off the chrome ring and plastidip it black. Now the top grill matches the bottom. Next its the brake vents in the bottom. A Coworker pointed out they are dark gray and not black. He is correct and now it bothers my OCD...
There are really good "how to" videos on YouTube. This one in particular is the video I followed.

Note: the guy in the video only covered a small area around the paint area. I covered a much larger area b/c removing the overspray is a pain in the butt.
