Sandy's derped grill

Derped my grille. It's my first mod but not my last. I still can't get over this truck. After 1 week of ownership I still get excited to drive her.

Thanks TW for all the photos and inspiration.

 

I think it looks good!

 

Thanks @EngineMonkey

 

Still waiting for the cold to fuck off in NY to do this, light bar and install clazzios

 

Is Derp a brand?

 

No it's just interwebz slang for Plastidip

 

This is a derp.

 

Also a derp

 

Sounds like your going to have a good spring!

 

Got me convinced. I want to do the same. I like that you taped off the emblem. What color is that and it's Plati Dip right?? Any tips?

 

I removed the grille from the truck and the emblem from the grille before applying the matte black plasti-dip.

 

Cool. How many coats and did you just clean in real good as far as prep?

 

I did 5 coats and cleaned it as best I could. It was a super easy process. It's a project that pairs well with a beer or two, maybe three.

 

The grill looks great. I love the black on tan. Does anyone like the "chain link fence" grill. I changed mine to a mesh. It was my first mod.

I think we need to let someone know how many chrome grills are stuffed in an attic.

 

Personally, I don't mind the "chain link fence" as long as it's not all chrome.

 

Looks good, I'm still undecided between plasti-dip, powdercoat and pro grill???

 

I made my decision based on cost. I really like the BAMF recessed grille but, I don't like enough to drop 600 bucks.

 

That's kind of where I am, don't want to drop $400 for a grill...Just curios as to how well plastipid will hold up over a few months

 

I'm not the biggest fan of the texture or feel of plast-dip, but for 8 bucks it's hard to beat. I spent a little less that 16 dollars on two cans and only used half of one. I may have to touch it up in a couple of months and if I do, oh well.

 

I spent about $100 on mine. I just needed to loose the chrome. More than the $16 less than $600. I'm not a fan of the derp...but the grill looks awesome in black.
