Bumper and taillight plastidip

[Sleeper4SHO]

So the chrome is peeling off the tail lights...shocker i know....rather then spending $400 on a new set I decided to experiment with some black plastidip.  For $6 and a little bit of my time on a nice day I'm happy with the outcome.  I even expanded my experiment to the grill. Attached a few before/after pics of each.

Excellent job, great look!  :thumb:  ... And saved a lot of $, especially since the tails would peel again.  Super job on the spear... Really makes the new tail light job pop! :beer2:

Your own theme, and it's lookin' good

I can't completely claim it all as my own theme...i have to confess that I love the white explorer sport with the black trim. So I pondered....my SHO is white, why can't the black trim look just as good as it does on the exploder!  Might try blacking out the chrome window trim and see how i like that and then Eventually some black wheels! Maybe a black faced wheel with a lip painted to match the color of the car

Nice, I did the same to my grill and front trim, I am being lazy with the back half though lol.

Looks great. Did not realize how bad of a eyesore the peeling chrome was.

Thanks all for the kind words.  Attached a better picture of the front. Having the bumper replaced tomorrow. after that is done there will be no more front plate mount and i will spray the bottom grille to match the top.  Will also be blacking out the silver inserts around the LED strip

Looks good...fog light bezels are pretty cheap to buy black if you don't want to spray

I did the same thing with my car. The black accents look really good on the white paint. Great work with the dip! It's a great product to use.

sleeper- excellent job as i tried it & know how hard it is to do an expert job with the dip. was looking at your profile & saw you had borla catbacks. you & i maybe the  2 around with them. really love the way my guy made them stick further out the back so you could see the embossed borla emblem.
