Looks good mine are going to be on a black truck

Yeah I wanted a black truck to start with... Only truck I found was a white one... Soooooo I went with the "storm trooper" (as some call it) look. So far I'm liking it but my next truck will be black and will be completely blacked out

That looks pretty good. If I were to ever do mine (which I probably never will) I would probably do half as much as you did. I wouldn't want it to look that dark, but if you were to half how dark yours is it would be just about perfect to me.

More Plasti Dip fun. Blacked out the front valence and side mirror caps. Blacked out the back to cover up some paint issues. Ordered some new 4x4 decals, hopefully they will help it "pop".

Thanks! Sometimes I think it's still too red lol all depends on how the sun hits it... Since doing mine, red taillights seriously stick out too me haha
here's another angle with some more sun the other two are at night, still shine thru really well

don't take me too serious man, cause I don't mean it that way. but I honestly almost couldn't stop myself.


I understand playing around, but imo that is taking it a bit far. I really liked your initial 2 tone job though.


one pro of dip is you can peel it. and if you honestly like it like that, its your truck

Don't put those stickers over the plastidip. Plastidip isn't permanent enough. If you want to put the stickers on, use real paint then put the stickers over that. also, the mirrors caps look good. But I think the look you've got looks and works well on your truck, so if you can get it in real paint it'd really look good.
