    It's the white plasti dip. It's actually a matte finish so in actual it doesn't quite match

    Derped the Grill.
    4 Coats of Black and 3 Coats of Glossifier.

    I'm not quite happy with the overall results but for $20-$30 CAD, it is good enough until I get it painted or get an ECG Fab one.
    It's still a bit tacky even a day later and it's mainly the texture I don't like.
    This is my first Plasti Dip attempt.

    looks like the glossifier didn't go on smooth, the black dip alone looks good and smooth

    Will two cans be enough for the grill and the emblems?

    Yes 2 cans is more than enough. I did my grill and emblems over the weekend. I also kept the cans in a bucket with warm water in it between coats. It keeps the dip warm and allows it to spray better.

    The texture was consistent from finish to end. Glossifier being so thin didn't really change it.
    I think my mistake was not applying strong pressure to the nozzle and also not warming up the cans before use.

    I spent less than one can of black to do the four coats and less than 1 for glossifier as well.

    Wasn't too bad. Apparently the adhesive on the 3rd gen headlights is much harder to work with. I wouldn't know since the 3rd gen is the only ones I've done. There is a write up on it under 3rd gen bhlm.

    I agree easer with them on so Dip the lugs then or what? I see a lot of dudes with no derp on the lugs. Won't it come off when you get the tires rotated?

    Looks great @Dave2016!

    I can't decide between debadging altogether or derp...

    I mean, really, who cares to read my tailgate to know that I have a V6?
