Plasti Dipped Grill

[BK76]

So I finally had a dry weekend to tape up the rig and use some plasti dip. I ordered the Grill and Trim kit from www.DIPYOURCAR.com . under $40 and it worked great. Took just a little over 1 can for the grill alone. You get 2 cans in the kit which will go towards the trim pieces. I haven't done the trim yet around the windows, but that will happen this week. Prior to this I had only used plasti-dip on emblems, so I wanted to just do one piece at a time to start.

I didn't take off the grill, but i did unattach from the top and and slightly pulled it away. I also used a large pizza box (worked perfectly) to cover the back of the grill so no spray got onto the motor compartment.

Lastly, I wanted to keep the emblem on the front untouched, so I removed it. Some Youtube videos said you would need to go from the bottom.... NOT SO. I am a bigger then normal guy (6'5 / 315#) and had no problem reaching in from the top and pushing the 4 tabs out and it popped right now so I could spray under and then reattach when completed. This worked great.

I added 6 layers on the truck, but only took 3 photos of the process before the ending. I love this site as I was able to get a lot of feedback before going through the process.

Looks good! Are you going to glossify it?

Looks great. Is your Tahoe white or pearl white?

I hadn't thought about the Glossifier until after I had already ordered my kit. Im going to see if they happen to have it at Lowes or Home Depot. If not, I may order a bottle online. I don't mind the matte look... I have had it for years on my diesel truck, but I think it would be a little better with some gloss to it.

Don't bother BK. Glossifier doesnt do much
