Ok here is the pic after doing the mirrors and doing my grill lastnight. I gotta say I like the idea of plasti-dip on the mirrors and grill. They are pretty high abuse spots and cant be powdercoated. Which is my next step in colormatching, powdercoating the bumpers.





little artsy fartsy shot

Looks good with black grill & mirrors. What prep did you do before spraying the plasti-dip? How durable is the plasti-dip?

Only prep I did was wipe everything free of dust/dirt. I sprayed the grill yesterday with 10mph gusts lol. 3 coats total on mirrors and grill.

Durability depends on how many coats you spray and what other prep you do. Ill be happy if this lasts till the begining of the new year.

Just an opinion but that would look 10x better with the molding off.

Still sweet truck
