Thanks for the compliments. Update- i did peel off the light and redid them with RustOleum lens tint and they look sweet!!! The lights look brand new and are much more translucent but blacked out. The rest of the plastidip is holding up quite well.

Looks like you've got overspray all over the place. Did you clean it up already?
Why didnt you remove your taillights to spray them? They are only in the by a screw!

Not sure if I woulda went that route, but I'm not you...lol

otherwise, scheme looks nice.

Not necessarily. My Chrome wheels have been plasti-dipped for almost a year now with no problems...

Either way. Im impressed. It looks good either way, whether it requires more maintenance or not, I am sure you guys already thought about it.

I got rid of the strips on the front and the gas cap. It was too much for me. Fun to try the strips though. Here are my final pics.


ff2011- I do have a hell bent steel 2.5 inch lift and it is almost completely level with the front being .25 lower than the rear. Damn engine wight, LOL

Dirtydog- With the plastidip areas I just peeled the overspray off so it was a quick n easy clean up. When I re-did the tails I took them off and used the lens tint. I will get a better pic of those on here as well as they turned out great!!

ricer- Those look bad *** and I love the lights behind the grill with the white cover. Excellent touch.
