    Does Plasti-Dip count as a mod ?
    ^^ Yes. I'm going to do the wheels.
    Probably the lower valance and the white letters on the rear mud flaps.
    All black and gray.

    ^^ Actually, I was looking at the chrome emblem on the steering wheel and wondering how I could black that out. Oh, and the chrome trim around the shifter. That's the only other chrome I can find.

    Ok so I know it has been talked about a few times on the forum but I have never seen an actual video on the plasti-dipping process.
    Well here is a video on how to do it courtesy of OBXRunner on the T4R.org forum.
    I was a little skeptical but I have seen his vehicle and the emblems look GREAT.

    I had the same question. My answer....... It just does.
    Seeing is believing. You can see it in the video. This video is 100000 times better than all of the pictures others have posted. I think it gives you more of an idea of how to actually do it.

    I've done it, peels right off paint no problem. My way was very similar. Except I followed the directions on the can and let it sit 30min between coats.

    I bought mine from home hardware in canada, its also sold at home depot.

    Never seen door handles put plenty of people have done lower valence and rims.

    I've done interior pieces (console, plastic seat pieces, door floor trim) and emblems.

    Good job...looks great. I like it and it looked easier than what i did with mine. I took my badges off and painted them flat black then put them back on. But it was easy to but great job.

    So you can spray the emblems right on the truck? Doesnt it peel off from the emblems when you peel it off the paint? This works on white? Im worried about spraying black on my white paint
