Ive been wanting to paint my emblems and my lower valance black for awhile now. A couple months ago my friends introduced me to plastidip and yesterday went out, bought a few cans and went to work! Here are the results.
Here is the lower valance black with depo fogs:


Blacked out emblems:







How do yall think these will look plastidipped?:

I know the wheels are dirty but i want everyone opinions on how these will look when they are black.

 

The emblems are a nice touch if that's the theme you're going for! I've seen wheels done that turned out pretty neat as well and go good with the badges. But for some reason, I don't like the front valance. IDK what it is, can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's "too much" black or something. But, as long as you like it. I need to play around with this stuff too!

Not to hijack your thread, but what kind of protection does it seem like it offers? Will it stand up to the elements and not peel off?

 

Do you have any before pics of the front end ?

 

i think the valance looks good. can we get a a full side shot of the truck to see it all together? maybe you just need a little more black to finish the look. maybe get the black honeycomb grille w/o the ford emblem. i forget who makes them. i think its Pat.
maybe rhino liner on the tool box.
Sweet Taillights!!!

 

Protection is good no peeling in the rain and I did the badges right before the rain so I wouldn't worry about lack of protection.


I'll get before and side shots as well.

Deno I'm gonna look into a patman grille and do the wheels next week when I rotate the tires. And I love the tails. I'm the only f150 in town with SD tails so they set me apart

 

Oh and I'm gonna look into some bedliner for the toolbox there isn't a rhinoliner place near me and I'm not gonna drive somewhere just for that

 

Looks good! I just did those same wheels on my truck. Cant seem to upload pics from my phone. Pm me and I'll send you some pics of my wheels.

 

Ok will do.

 

that truck looks SHARP

 

I did my lower valence when i switched back to the 4x4 valence and it's holding up well....i use the brush and pressure washer at the car wash to clean it. And I just did one of my old emblems too, because one of my painted ones fell off somewhere and I was not aware.

 

Cant wait to see the final product!

 

Haha me either Deno.

Raptor: thanks man I appreciate it!

Coobies: I think its going to hold up well. a buddy of mine did his roof several months ago and it has held up very well and his car is extremely clean all the time.

Here is a before picture:


i need to get a side picture tomorrow.

 

KScountryboy i pmed you.

 

I did my rims a couple weeks ago, I probably should have done a couple more coats but I couldn't afford to have my DD down for more than a day or two at a time. I've been meaning to get picks up. Its nice because it hides all the pitting and neglect from the previous owner.

 

It is really some great stuff. It has already done wonders for my truck.
