About 4 months ago I plasti dipped the entire grille/inserts in attempt to colormatch, but ultimately ended up removing the dip since I didn't care for the flat black look even though I used glossifier to avoid this. I thought I would keep the grille completely chrome until I saw this badass '13+ Laramie in my apartment complex that had colormatched his black grille and left the inserts chrome which gave the truck a crazy good look.
I know there's a thread on how to remove the inserts, but what do y'all think I should do in attempt to replicate the look this guy had? I think the issue I had with the dip is that the weather was about 50-55 degrees which reduced the spray output unlike if I had waited for warmer weather to get the glossy look I wanted.
So what do y'all think I should do so I can get the gloss black grille look while keeping the honeycomb inserts chrome? Should I hit it again with plastidip since the weather is warm or should I have a shop either paint to match or even do a vinyl wrap? Or should I try and find a Sport grille and replace the inserts with my Laramie ones instead of painting the thing entirely?
I've attached a picture of a white Laramie that had a similar thing done to his so y'all can see what I'm referring to. Thanks for the help!
