Hey guys so I plastidipped all the chrome pieces on my 2010 XTR 4x4 5.4L and wanted your guys opinion on it. I think the grill over does it but tell me what you guys think.
Also I'm gonna order fx4 tail lights cause one is cracked and wanted to know some good smoked headlights. In the summer im gonna lift it around 4 inches and get 35's on 18's any advice or tips??? or recomendations
Bumpers look good. Tailgate emblem looks cheesy IMO. Grill looks good too. Eventually I want to get my chrome grill surrounding piece PTM. Nice Learners magnet by the way

I have a 2012 XLT Sterling Grey and I want to get rid of the chrome bumpers too. I already have the black XL grill on. If you want to paint match, the Anthracite True Metallic Plasti-Dip color is a close match for the Sterling Grey. You also need to apply the Glossifier to get rid of the matte/rubbery finish look.
If you're going to do this, there's a lot of things I would have done differently:
1: Glossifier, use it. Right now it looks like ****ty XL trim, glossifier gives it enough shine to look semi-paintish
2: They make plastidip in more than one color. There's an anthracite grey that is very similar to your paint, would have at least done the bumpers and grill surround with it.
3: Plastidipped badges are OK, but plastidipped emblems just look bad IMO
4: Spend a little extra and get something like AutoDip to finish it off. It will end up looking vinyl wrapped since it's vinyl based and glossy.
Personally, i would wipe the plastidip down and spray anthracite grey over this black (black base is needed for that anyway) and then finish it off with at least 2 layers of glossifier. Might not be a perfect match, but will loook a LOT better than this.

I've did my rear bumper with 5 coats of black. Still have to do front bumper. But those are all I'm dipping prior to selling it. My theme has always been "black and blue".
While I like the looks of your bumpers..not really feeling the grill and Ford emblems. But it is your truck. Painted bumpers are about the lamest thing since they get rock chips and then start to rust(bad idea).
