Default plastidip

i was just playing with photoshop last night and did wheels black and rockers black with speedliner. i just wanted a general idea, so the rendering is not the best.

any thoughts on if it looks better stock or should i plastidip the wheels in count of rust on rear left rim and bedliner the rockers on count of rock chips?

Well I painted mine black and I'm quite happy with them, I think it makes the truck look meaner.

The good thing about plastidip though is that if you decide to do it and don't like it, you can always peel it off.

i helped a friend plasti-dip his rims on his silverado about 2 months ago and they're holding up beautifully. It works amazingly, so i think you should go for it.

I've thought about plasti dipping my flares also, as mine have scratches and pain chips on them, and reveals the black plastic they're made of.

Think it looks pretty mean. I spray-on bedlined my rockers and fender flares on my previous Dakota. Mainly because I didn't wanna pay to paint the flares, and it looked rough when I removed the chrome rocker trim. Came out really well, with similar results to "plastidip."
