    Dipped chrome grille and lower valence. I recently changed out my grille for a color matched and pulled the dip off the valence cause of the new grille. It peeled right off. Any stubborn spots, just hit it with a little WD40 let it sit a few secs and it wipes right off.

    Did my fenders and front bumper yesterday. How exactly do you guys do the emblem? Do you put tape or anything behind the grill to prevent spray from going in there or just go to town on it?

    My experience with plastidip is to spray it on thick with several layers. Peeling plastidip is a huge pita if you only do a few layers, way easier to peel when its a thick layer.

    For my front emblem I just popped it out and sprayed it on some news paper on the 14 there is like 3 tabs I think you just pull them up a lil or to the side a lil depending on where the tab is and then to reinstall it clicks in almost like a center cap on your wheels. And the rest of the emblems I just taped off and sprayed on the truck then peeled. For hard areas like the center of the O and A use a toothpick.

    None yet.
    I put newspaper behind the grill or you can take it off like others have mentioned.
