    Bed lined the rear bumper caps, LED lights in the interior, rear bed LEDs, red letter glove box inserts, center console coin box, set of Wildpeaks from my 2014 Tacoma that I traded in and removed the factory running boards.
    plasti coated my rear bumper and it holds up great.

    Dipping behind the wheel (and the barrel if you need to) is always a good idea. If anything, it will help the Plasti-Dip on the outer portion of the wheel last because it will bond with it and wrap it all around the wheel. It'll make it harder for it to prematurely peel.

    I posted this pics in another thread. But figured they needed to be in this one in case anyone with the TRD Beadlock wheels wants to know how they look dip'd black.

    I love it man! May end up doing that to my faux beadlocks. Did you take the wheels off or just tape and paper while they were on?

    don't take the wheel off. the ring itself comes off. just remove all those hex bolts and the ring comes right off. then i put 4 screws in a piece of plywood i had laying around, hung the 4 rings on the screws, and sprayed. Pretty easy. taking out all those hex bolts and putting them back in took the longest part.

    That's pretty cool. At first I couldn't tell what you did to the truck, thought the white was just light or something and then i noticed it was actually different colors lol

    On my last truck I dipped the rear bumper and grill black. Emblems red. Used glossifier on everything. Looks good however went thru auto car wash and used the top package... 12 dollars it has a clear coat protector... Found that the clear coat protector made the dip sticky. Not sure if it was the gloss only or if it would also happen on regular dip.

    Going to dip everything on the new one also so I'm debating on using the glossifier for that reason.

    Anyone have any insite on the matter?

    Had to be the glossifier. Ive never had an issue with plasti dip in a car wash, with that coating stuff your talking about.
