    Yeah i love it, would have never known about plasti-dip if it weren't for TW!

    I was contemplating doing my color matched fender flares but i might not, the possibilities are endless with this stuff lol. Tempted to do my mirrors as well and make the truck stand out a bit more, good thing the black looks good on silver :)

    Now that the sun is shining i have to do some touch ups on the top of the hood scoop. I should've sprayed it from the side to get the top rim edge on the back, same with the badges.. make sure you spray the sides and under and top then a light coat over the center. Lesson learned i guess, sure looked mint last night haha

    OP, that looks great man!

    AJW,

    Every vehicle forum talks about plasti-dip. Word of advice though, make sure you prep the area by cleaning it, and waxing/sealing it before you hit it with PD. There have been guys who didn't do that and took off clear coat when they peeled it off later.
