Weather permitting I'm going to do my grill and bumpers this weekend. Hate all the chrome, all white to me looks cleaner. I like how your truck turned out. Last pic with the lights makes it look sorta like a trailblazer. Lol

Even messed around with the lights up front but didn't like it

Looks at least 10x better than the chrome! Seriously, the grille is much much nicer blacked out. As for the lights, I think they look good, but I woulda sprayed glossifier over them, or used Smoke dip instead of black, so the side-marker can still shine through.

I'll be dipping my entire Tahoe the first weekend in May. Gonna run me about $300 total. Not bad at all. Getting the gallons from dyc and using a spray gun. A buddy who's dipped about a dozen or so vehicles professionally is doing it for me as a graduation gift.

i dipped my wheels on my esky white in jan of 2012. i peeled them yesterday and re dipped them black. i drive in sand and saltwater a ton and the dip still looked good and the wheels looked like they did when i dipped them. only reason i peeled them is i was ready for a different look. word of advise; when you dip thin its a royal pain in the ass to peel. so where i went thin and it was hard to peel i put a couple coats on and let it dry. went back and it peeled right off.

Make sure you buy enough dip. I used 6 gallons when I dipped my truck from black to white and I didn't do the roof. With that said, white doesn't cover as well as other colors, so it might be a little less depending on what color you're going with. I'll be dipping mine again in the next couple of months. Still can't decide on what color tho. Here's a pic if mine, it was dipped for about a year
