I'll say I'm not a plasti-dip fan (at all)

but it looks like you did a great job of applying it. Looks evenly applied and consistent.

(IMHO i'd do the roof too)

1naztyx5,

Wow :rofl:

Not actually sure how I feel about that but it's definitely interesting...

Oops, didn't notice that you didn't do the roof :confused:

You need to smoke the lights..they look too bright on a matte vehicle...and I'm not really a fan of smoked lights.

if done properly, plastidip can look really well...

Nice looking truck, but i agree about the lights... if you are doing a black scheme, i think the lights need to be a bit darker, IMO...
Are you planning on painting the roof?

Sorry, loved the original look, but then I love Alpine White!

Thanks for the feed back guys, am not done yet. I ran out of daylight and the temperature has not been the best lately and this is crucial for the dip (learned the hard way) she needs another two coats and yes the roof is getting done :) ... As far as the lights am still debating if should smoke the white strip or not I don't like the the smoked tail light look specially if it has to be paint or tint which upon removal will possible damage the plastic.

Everything done is reversible, I know not everyone will share my taste so when the time comes or I get bored with it she goes back to her beautiful silver ;)

Ill continue to update on the progress, am also considering adding the aero kit and with the dip I don't have to worry about paint Lol

Thanks, yes I love the original look too but this is temporary so is ok, and by the way she's titanium silver :)

Honestly I hate it Flat black was out of style at least 3 years ago. I am not a plasti dip hater like most people so maybe if it was white it would be better :dunno: just my opinion on flat black...Like you said its no perminate.

3 years ago? maybe online Lol, so far very uncommon around here ;) so far am getting a lot of positive attention. Lets see how it holds up, hopefully until Bimmerfest East thus year.
