    So i dipped my badges. Love the new look. Now the bumper covers gotta go. Pretty sure i would be happywith them dipped but want to see what everyone else is doing. So what have you done? Are you happy with it? Pics please. If you have the bumpershellz what texture did you go with and does it match the bumper plastic? Thanks all.

    I have the color matched bumpershellz and I think the color matched almost exactly. Have to look for a better pic, but this is what I have right now

    $139.99 (matte black) vs $5.82 a can

    A Toro work cart swiped it and I just plastidiped right back over it. Looks great can't even tell it took damage. Show me how that Bumpershell would look after that. $5.82 all day to make it black.

    I used plasti-dip over the chrome, but took it one step further and painted/clear coat over it. It’s held up for years now.

    One more question. Is the color match paint or added to the plastic? Metallic? Guess that's two questions.

    The color match is painted and clear coated just like the factory paint on the truck. It's a great product IMHO. It took me like 10 minutes to install.
