For the record, this is still looking almost perfect close three 3 years after Plasti Dipping:

Plasti-dip vs Krylon
Hi all! We are new to this forum so sorry to reply to such an old post. We are getting ready to start the SR5 to TE conversion. one of the first things is painting all the chrome. I am trying to figure out which to do...Plasti dip or Krylon flat black. Thanks!

I painted mine with color match spray paint after sanding and priming, then a few passes of clear coat.

2 years later it looks like ass, clear coat is gone and the paint is rough and scaly - so it's time to do it again.

I was considering either flat black/matte clear, bed liner or dip, along with the bumpers which are all chipped and pitted.

I had to go back and look to see what I was even talking about - considering that post was 5 years ago and I can't hardly remember last week

Pics would be in my build thread and my 'additional photos' down in my signature.

I plasti-dipped my grille and lower valance. It's been through rain/mud & car washes. Still holding up.

Thanks @ rney2001! Did you do any prep work before the plasti-dip? Looks awesome on the white.

Thanks! I really like the way it came out. As far a prep work, I just washed with warm water & soap then wiped clean with rubbing alcohol.

I just painted mine, I took off the piece instead of taping and prepping the area. It only took a couple minutes.

The dipped front grills look phenomenal. Definitely planning on doing this to our truck soon, as the front hood paint and front bumper paint both look terrible.
