Default Dipped my bumpers today.
Hey guys. I know it's not for everyone but I decided to dip my bumpers in an effort to get rid of the chrome. It went well for my first time. I think it brings the truck together and makes it look more uniform. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. I'll do a proper photo shoot after I add new wheels and nerf bars. I also got new decals from moody that will be going on asap.

I did 6-8 coats. I used 3 1/2 cans of black and 1 1/2 cans of gloss.

I normally cringe before opening one of these plastidip threads, but I must say yours turned out great! Well done!
