    Could someone explain, in detail +/- pictures how you plasti-dip the badges without taking them off? How/what do you tape? Peeling out all the little bits seems like it would be difficult.

    Love this. Great directions. Anyone have pictures of older plasti dip jobs to show how it's holding up?

    Ya, it kinda is. I know they're gonna get F'd up. Especially when I get new tires. That tire machine will destroy em. Oh well, it looks good until I can afford rims!

    So does the white plasti-dip match?

    You be the judge, keep in mind my truck is dirty.

    I guess it depends on how picky you are, and how it wears over time.
    Its pretty close, but not perfect.
    I didn't do the best job of application. and taping the grille was a pain, but at least I found out that I would like a color matched grille. The edges came out pretty crappy where the paint met the tape too. but i can just peel it of or re-do it!

    Awesome! Thank you. I did my badges already so I am good there. I will be getting a can and doing my grill for sure now.

    Did one can do it?

    0326011654_500dc368cff5236e5f578be6981bacf4b6209daf.jpg

    Then start with the coats every 15 minutes. I did i think 5 total

    Looks good man. Did you do any scuffing/sanding to the wheels for better adhesion? Would be interested to see how it holds up.
