Default To Dip or Not to Dip?

I have a 2005 Lariat SCREW black with chrome bumpers and a chrome roush grill. I have already installed Harley black headlights. Should I black plasti dip the chrome grill and bumpers? Please share your input.

Plastidip has it's plus' and minus'. If you can deal with it possibly pulling loose over time, then I say go for it. What it has working for it is the fact that you can safely remove it without hurting paint or chrome finish. If I were you I'd try to find another HD grill then sand and paint it to match the color of your truck. That way you can always go back if you don't like it.

Let me help you a little. I would paint to match, not dip it, flat black and gloss black dont go together.
