Watch some of these videos regarding Plasti Dip, click on the left column for each video. Search youtube for other videos.
It's really easy to use.

Use the smoke stuff on the V8 emblem. I think that's what the F-150 dudes use on their Ford badges..although they should probably just throw them away (;

I've got the greyish-black plastic front bumper on my pickup and i was wondering if you guys would recommend me blacking it out with a couple cans of that stuff. I feel like the red and black scheme goes pretty well. I'm not sure if I wanna keep my grille chrome or not though. Suggestions??

just peeled my B-pillars. Bad edges when I removed the masking. Any good tricks to clean edges? Would lightly trimming with a fresh x-acto knife work?

Personally I went with bed liner for my gray bumper because I am always leaning/resting/stepping on it, and if I actually bump something I know the plasti-dip wouldn't hold up.
