    Clean the surface. Make sure it's dry. Spray plastidip.

    I used white PlastiDip and glossifier on my grill, within a year it was yellowing. Broke down and bought a color matched grill.

    I just Plasti Dipped my rear Chrome Bumper. Did about 6 coats of the white spray can from Walmart and then did two coats of Glossifier. Costed me $15 and two days of intermittent labor. I took the bumper completely off so that I could treat the tow hitch for a few minor spots of rust. I am stoked with the result, once the white fades a little bit then it will match the paint job on the truck (or once I get myself into some dirt, whichever comes first).

    I have to buy just one tail light (busted it out) but was thinking of using this as an excuse to get a blacked out pair. Really like your headlights.

    Thanks , that's a good reason to get it , if you like the blacked out tail light . You could always sell the one side you have to recoup some of your money back . Then you would have a excuse to do the headlights too

    I'm at the point where if I'm going to spend money I don't need to be spending I want a suspension lift, weather tech floor liners, and a new audio system hahaha. Lights are low on the list.

    So glad I came upon this thread after stalking a couple other threads. How are your guy's grill surround and rear bumpers holding up?
