    Finally did my wheels. I'm happy how they turned out. Took longer than I thought & I'd recommend practicing on something else first, if it's your first time doing this. uploadfromtaptalk1459641803143.jpg

    After replacing the front grille with an OEM white one, I decided to plasti-dip the rear bumper white to match. Turned out pretty good, a few places i may need to touch up. Let me know what you think.

    I'm sure it wouldn't look bad on the grill. But it may be a little easier to see the (if any) color diff up front.

    Dipped my grill last night, should have gone a bit heavier after a closer inspection this morning in the daylight but It'll do for now.

    I did 8. Top to bottom, bottom to top, right to left, left to right, repeat. Think I should have sprayed heavier on the passes but was worried about runs.

    Yes. I had to peel my whole rear bumper and start over due to my haste and putting it on too thick.
