Default Plasti dip on the rear brake vent parts?

I have to take one off as the leading edge got snagged on a cone or something. Looks like I can use some plastic epoxy & make it go flat again.

Anyone ever shoot these with Plasti dip to freshen them up.

I know it woun't last long but it would be easy to do while off for the repair.

Or a plastic/epoxy paint? Eastwood?

How about some plain old back-to-black?

I want something a little thicker & longer lasting. I have done btb a few times.

Just wondering how the plasti holds up to the "sand blasting" those parts get.

What do they cost?

Plasti dip is about $8.

The new ones will be the same after a few months so I'm looking for a way to "renew" them.

I'll take a wag they are about $50 each, so $100 vs. $8.
