I think that looks awesome! Reminds me of the two tone fx4's of yesteryear, definitely doesn't look like overkill on your truck like plasti-dip can easily do.

Looks nice! When I saw the title, I thought it was gonna be just another person plastidipping their emblems or stock wheels... but this is probably one of the nicest things someone's done with plastidip

I had the expert do it and I'm glad I did. He told me that it was a *itch getting a sharp cut line on the rocker panels. To me, it was worth it.

I really like the way the black painted tail pipes came out too.

I think it looks great! The matte finish matches the black tape on the doors. If I'd criticize anything, it'd be to have the running boards done to match... the boards charcoal/graphite color is off just enough to draw the eyes to them, they also makes the wheels look an even lighter 3rd color too. Otherwise, awesome job!

Good comment. I was asked if I wanted the running boards dipped too but I use them all the time and I know the Plasti-dip would not be strong enough to withstand my sandy/muddy feet stepping all over them.

The wheels are a lighter color - more of a charcoal. I plan on the chrome matching the same as the wheels. Didn't want black wheels - the FX wheels look sharp.
