Plastic dip my chrome on my SR5.. what do you think?

Looks great!

 

Did you remove the front bumper ends or did you just tape off the surrounding areas?

 

Looks awesome

Me like

 

Looks good!

 

Yea. Much better.

 

Glossifier also?

 

curious as why you didn't paint the ends of the grill?

 

Everything is painted not sure what you mean?

 

Satan black

 

must of been the way the light is hitting the pic

 

They are painted.... the angle they sit with the light hitting them gives the illusion

 

the second pic is much better. thanks

 

I've been looking on youtube about using "dip". Some of the painters say to lightly dust your grill first and spray several coats, others say spray it on "wet" and still do several coats. Thought I would ask people in the know

 

start light and several coats.....imo

 

I took the grill off and clean it with a micro cloth rag and sprayed about 5 coats on there waited about 20 min between coats
i also washed the truck 1 hour before is started too made sure everything was dry

 

When I was going about chrome deletion, I considered dipping or wrapping but with the rock chips and debris the front end is subjected to, I just decided on bed lining everything.

Im from Conroe too, I have been considering having mine sparyed with bedliner, where did you go and how much did they charge you? Did that include the front grill surround or just the end caps. Wondering if they removed these to spray them or did they tape them off?

 

Hey Conroe neighbor! I’ll DM you so we don’t derail this thread.

 

I did mine and started light. This gives a base for additional heavier coates. I believe I put about 8 or more coats. They say more coats make it easier to remove if you decide to later. The problem with going to wet is the risk of runs.

 

Hey neighbors! I’m on the north side of 1488 just east of 242. Curious too

 

Neighbor! I’ll DM you. Added you to the conversation
