Default To Dip or Not?

I'm trying to decide if I want to dip my truck with plasti dip or not. Just the lower section, both bumpers, exhaust tips, probably the steps on the bed, and probably certain parts of the OEM wheels. What do you guys think?

That would look sweet. I don't think the steps or exhaust tip would hold up very well tough.

Yeah ill probably spray the tips with Bedliner. I just didnt know how mine would look because I don't think I've seen a silver truck done like that. And the steps and top of the rear bumper are a different shade of grey than the lower portion so I didn't know about that either. Ill have to try it out though! Thank guys! Ill post pics later. Hopefully Saturday morning the weather will be decent.

Wheels sure, lower panel and bumpers no.. silver and gray look so much better than silver and black. No on exhaust either lol

yes to everything but exhaust tips, use engine enamel for exhaust tips.
