    ... let the derping begin.


    Grill, emblem, badges, rear bumper, possibly wheels.

    Rear bumper will be replaced with a plate bumper soon, then the front soon to follow.

    If I do the wheels it will just be temporary to see what my truck looks like, then I'll buy some black wheels eventually.



    If I do that, I'll probably need more derp....






    This should get interesting.

    for the roof did you rattle can it or use dip from a bucket? I have seen how some were doing their hoods with dip but used a spray gun for that though v. the rattle can (saw a vid on YT on how it left streaks here and there).

    Also I just finished redipping my rims again. getting better at it, 3 rims completely done with ONE can! bought 2 cans, so the last one was finished (used the last of the first can, then finished with the second and still have enough to dip my A/C vent panel :D).

    I'm thinking about it, i would do black on the dark blue.....

    Im just worried about taking the good off or painting with it taped

    I may take the pictures that were just posted and bring them over to the photoshop thread and see I they can help me. I'll see how it looks

    It won't take the good paint off, I have to remove some and redo it because i dropped the can while painting... I just scored the derp, peeled it off then sprayed again. no damage occurred.

    That was supposed to read hood not good

    I don't know if I was to take my hood off or leave it an tape

    I n ow it won't take off my paint

    The fact that it won't ruin finish makes me almost want to do a part of my laptop

    Tape off a design and go

    Then I think that might not be a good idea lol
