Three letters....WTF! Horrible pics my man I don't get it. Overspray everywhere on emblems. I mean at least show us the finished product. And this thread is related to those using the new color to match sterling grey. There is another few dozen on plasti dip in general.

OP, I just found this thread and your truck looks great. Guys on this thread can tell there is a very minor difference between the color of the grill and the truck but that's because we're looking for it. I'm sure 0% of people who don't know it's plati-dipped would notice. Do you still have the plasti-dip on? How has it held up? Does it still look good?

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I was finally able to try out the Anthracite Plasti-Dip and Glossifier on a tailgate handle and I was pleased with the results. It's very close! I'm working on a set of mirror caps right now.

Seems better than doing 7-10 coats of the smoke.
