Gonna tint my tails so I took those off.




I'm also gonna paint the front end of my truck. The grille and chrome "power bar" are gonna be color matched to the truck. The bow tie is gonna be painted black.



I'm also gonna paint some things under the hood. The engine cover, fuse block lid, and the shroud piece in front of the fan. These will be color matched with black accents.

I'm also waiting for my plastidip to come in so I can coat the lower front bumper. I hate that they made it that gray color instead of black like the one up top.

as an alternative to plastidip, maybe try some krylon paint for plastic? i havent used it on cars but on my old scooters and nitro rc cars that was the best i could find. no sanding required either.
