Figured I'd spend some time on the truck yesterday. Popped off my mirror caps, grill and my side emblems. Cleaned all the parts with nail polish remover ( all I could find at the time) and sprayed all the parts. Stuff is supposed to hold up good, but I have my doubts....

3 cans did the following.

 

Is it flat....or did you do the gloss coat as well. I am wanting to dechrome the chrome package that my truck came with.

 

Looks good! Cant wait to see it on the truck!

 

Mind sharing how the side emblems (by the hood) and the engine emblems (on the front doors) are attached and what it took to remove them? I too think all the chrome actually distracts from an otherwise very sharp truck.

I've been looking at either the Plastidip Smoke or Anthracite. Really curious to know how well it holds up.

Interesting Vid:

 

That looks great

 

looks awesome

 

Did you cut those Ford letters? That looks great...

 

Thanks guys!

 

The emblems on the side are just clips, if you open the hood you can see them from the inside, I pressed from the inside and pulled on the outside. No idea on the engine emblem, never took mine off.

 

Just flat, no gloss, I wonder if shooting some clear coat on top would make it last longer.

 

Thanks! I cut them out with scalpel lol, the chrome part is slightly raised so i just followed that with the blade.

 

OMG...well done. That looks really good!!!

 

2nd, noticed on Plastidips web site that they make a gloss top coat specifically for their products. (a primer too)

 

I had an assortment of scalpels to choose from (fiance is a nurse) made it a little easier, couldn't image doing it with an exacto knife lol

 

interesting, I picked my cans up at the auto store, never had a selection. That top coat would be a good idea I think, might make it last a little longer. Now that it has dried and hardened i could see it lasting a fair amount of time. I think I'm going to clear the ford emblem, I don't ever want to do that again. Lol
