Try "detail doctor" . Works better than back to black and a lot easier than painting.

Go over to autogeek.net. Great place for anything detailing.
Search for faded plastic or faded black trim or something like that. Most Guys over there are very knowledgable about products. Plus you can learn how to truly detail your truck.

That is exactly what I want to do with my truck. I have the exact same one, leveled not lifted.

Bumpers Look awesome. I hope home depot has more...Think the rockers would look good too. 6-8" up from the bottom.

How did you do the oval emblem? what does it say?

I did the rockers and it was too much so I peeled it off. WARNING: make sure you get at least 5 coats EVERYWHERE.

Rule of thumb for plastidip- the more you put on, the longer it lasts and the easier it is to take off.

I had a few spots in the corners of my mirrors and door handles where it's so thin it won't peel off all, but didn't stay connected to the think spots.. Had to get acetone and scrub it off.

The emblems say No Fear and are full replacements, not stickers or covers.

I went with Krylon Fusion satin black for the bed caps on my Lariat. Looks better than the faded gray, and barring any bird **** getting on it, it is permanent.
