Default Plasti-Dip project on 05 sierra crew

So I've been beating around the bush the last few months about plasti dipping my wheels and front end/rear bumper and apparently the wife caught one. Woke up fathers day morning to a card, breakfast, and a home depot bag full of plasti-dip from "the kids". Good wife, i know, now on to the pics lol

Wheel Before:

Wheel After:

Grill Installed, still have to do lower bumper and rear bumper:

Teaser of wheel mocked in front of temp stockers:


I will post pics of wheels installed on truck tomorrow after work when i get them mounted. Whats your guys opinions of the front end, obviously after the front chrome bumper is done? Im still up in the air and starting to think the marker lights will need to be tinted (nightshades). Any and all opinions welcome!

The wheels came out great! The grill and bumpers will look really good together. My truck is done the same way, only thing left I have to do is rear bumper and chrome in the side moldings.

To give you an idea...

Man... my dipped grill is already chipped after a few months. Once it chips it peels up slightly and can catch on towels and what not. I think I might peel it all off and just paint it with a low gloss black.

Ive had no problems with the plasti dip on my truck and its been there for almost a year now. Only spots that are messed up is my mirror caps because the paint under it is pealing. Even the wheels are fine! Washed several times and been through all winter.

Well guys, got the wheels mounted up after work today. Took some time and hit the front calipers with a fresh coat of gloss black also. I LOVE the look of the wheels now. Also just finished the front/back bumper. I think it turned out pretty damn good for what it is. On to the pics...
