Thank you for the welcome. I did the bumpers with Plasti-dip as well as the replacement grille and grille shell as they were gloss black as supplied from the manufacturer. The texture and color are a perfect match to the OEM black plastic pieces and the coating is proving to be very durable.

I did not remove the bumpers before spraying. I just masked off with plastic sheeting and painters tape. The only prep needed is washing and then wiping down really good with alcohol.....that's it. It does not damage the chrome and since there is no scuffing involved you can just peel it off whenever you want. Folks do their badges, wheels, grilles....all kinds of stuff. It's $6 a can at Home Depot.

I've been thinking about going regular cab and 8' bed. How much space is behind the seat? I know on my 2004 I had a 3rd small door and there was tons of space. If it's as small as the OBS trucks I will opt for the supercab.

There is at least 2 feet between the back of the seat and the cab wall. I was really surprised at the room.

The stuff is super easy to work with. I put 4 coats on everything I sprayed waiting 30 minutes between coats. The outside temp really isn't an issue as I sprayed my bumpers when it was 37* out.
