    Looks good! I’ve never used plastidip, I’m curious about the durability. Will you have to redo the panels/ touch them up over time?

    Time will tell on the Tundra but from past experience, it holds up very well as long as it is done right (good prep, lots of coats).
    I did a bunch on my old F150 (wheels, grill, badges, interior) that looked great for the 6ish years had it. The only place that started peeling was on a wheel and that was because I got a bit squirrelly on a curb

    I fully understand. That's the issue I have as well. I do realize that painting isn't cheap, but I figured I'd give it a try before going the other route.

    I can't speak to any of the various colors they make but I've never noticed any fading with the black and I had my F150 in both Georgia and in Texas. The cool part is that if it did happen you can just peel it off and redo it

    @PoundHard, couple of years in now, how's it holding up? I've been wanting to get rid of the chrome on my '22 Lunar, but can't justify the cost of bumpshellz or vinyl wrap.

    Little by little I’m getting rid of the chrome.

    Vinyl on the rear bumper chrome, and HyperDip on the wheels.
    Mustache is next.
    May try the dip there too.

    @Daedalus, I haven't heard of Hyperdip before but Google tells me it's more superior than Plastdip, which is what I was thinking for the rear caps and moustache

    Going to use this method. Already had the bumper off once...not something I care to repeat again.

    Looks good. Still holding up?
