Awesome product. I sprayed both bumpers and my grille and the outcome is fantastic! I would recommend anyone that is wanting to get rid of the chrome to use this on it. I sprayed 5-6 coats with a 30 minute drying period in between each coat. The texture is nice, it comes out looking even and professional.

Before and after of the front end.



The lighting affected the picture and the way some of the black looks, it is all smooth and even in person.


I will post better pictures tomorrow!

I got side tracked and will take more pictures tomorrow. I've counted the dents and I've got only 3 small dings in it.

How did you prep the chrome? I'm getting ready to paint mine here pretty soon and may try the plastidip route first instead of paint.

Just cleaned it really well and masked everything off and sprayed it on with 5 or 6 light coats. It's awesome stuff

But it adds character :p

I was never a huge fan of Chrome so this plasti dip looks nice!
Calms the front of the truck down a bit and instead of a hey look at me vibe it just looks mean!

I used paint for plastic by Rustoleum to paint the plastic and Plasti Dip for the chrome.
