Sorry EF2FITTY - didn't mean to steal your thread!

Plastidip works good. It isn't a shiny finish but a matt white. Best thing is its easy to touch up. Its removable as well. It peels off like a sticker.

And thanks for heads up on the paint supplier!!
Here's the inspiration that got me to do mine... this belongs to a member from Maine!



He also did the headlights black, the mirror and roof clearance light lenses black... sweet truck!

No doubt, some sweet rides. But it seems more popular for lighter colored trucks.

Geeez!

Can't leave well enough alone... couldn't get used to the horizontal bars, even after painting them black. Soooo... I bought a black billet grille, installed my air horns behind the grille, PlastiDip'd my chrome mirror caps white, my chrome factory wheels charcoal and am waiting for more white PlastiDip to arrive to do both front and rear bumpers!

Nice grill, I liked it either way. Keep me posted when when your done dripping the rest of the parts. Did you ever considered painting the whole mirror? Either way I'm a huge fan of the monochromatic paint scheme.
i havent pulled the trigger on modding mine yet, I'm actually installing the lift as we speak. I am considering keeping the black grill and installing the billet inserts. I don't think I've seen that look yet, only on the chrome grills. We'll see.

Thank you - I will update. I've seen the inserts - they do look pretty cool. I actually saw a picture of an XL one piece grille painted all white with polished inserts. It looked pretty cool... good luck finishing the lift!
