I know this is a bit off subject. But I have a grille guard that was on my 2010, it's powder coated and faded a bit. Do you think plasti dip would be a good idea for it? I worry about the durability of it. But the grill guard sticks out like a sore thumb on my new 2013. Do they make a gloss black?
$6.00 a can maybe 1 can to do the grill. don't stress it, if you don't like it just peel it off. I am sure would look better then faded powder coating.

Did the mirror reflectors, all badges, and the trim around the ecoboost badge.
Question, how does plasti-dip hold up and last on exhaust tips?

Did you smoke your tail lights with pd? If so how'd you keep your reverse light clear and such a clean cut? I tried and when I pulled tape up it had a jagged line

Any time you go to peel tape that is directly touching pd, spray a heavy final coat and peel it immediately. The dip re-liquifies what's underneath it and it will give you a clean line.

I've posted the picture before, but it's the only one I have the does a decent job of showing the PD. It's been on for about a year and is holding up really well. There are some small "chips" in the front end that I'll have to touch up, but overall I'm very impressed. When it warms up I'm going to get the gray PD and do the bumpers.

I did the whole grill. Came out good but decided to pull a few parts off. I really like the look. Just enough chrome and just enough black.
Have had it on for 6 months including one of the harshest winters I've seen (only 25) and it's held up phenomenal. No chips no fading looks just like the day I applied it

I've posted this picture quite a few times on here, but did the wheels, F150 emblems, Ford ovals, and mirror reflectors.
Also did my girlfriends mustang wheels
And my moms Flex
My old truck I did the bumpers and stock wheels when I lifted it
Also did my dads raptors wheels a couple weeks ago when we did the top perch mod but don't have a picture.

How do you guys mask off wheels when you're doing it?
Cans go for 20$.ea here in Canada where I live it's ridiculous. I've thought about doing my aluminum wheels.
EDIT:
And has anyone smoked anything with the tint PD? I tried to do a hood deflector on my truck out of dip. It turned out like crap.

Pull the wheels off, and spray them. Spray it on thick on the edge of the wheel and even do a heavy coat on the tire and it will peel right off the tire no problem.
