All done!! Here are the pics. Tomorrow I'm going to do the badges on the side of the truck and finish peeling out all the small pieces I left in on the rear badges.

Sorry for no complete rear picture...it started pouring so I had to pull the truck into the garage to finish everything.

thanks! Will do. The front badge got rained on about 20 minutes after my last coating because my truck doesn't fit all the way in the garage. I'm hoping I don't have to re-do it tomorrow but we'll see.

Looks good. Personally I like the debaged look. But if you keep them good choice on dipping them! Best part is its cheap to redo them. I am hopefully going to do my rims when I get the time and weather.

Thanks guys! Argray...how hard is it to do your rims? I was looking at mine today while I was in between coats and I was thinking about doing it, but I wasn't sure how well the plasti dip would hold after a bunch of miles on the highway and stuff. Does it wear off rims easily?

So I will be finishing the plasti-dipping of my badges today and it's going to be good weather here all day so I'll be able to get a better pic of the rear badges up finally.

Also ordered my Vararam and Magnaflow Y pipe last night from Moe's and I should have them installed by the end of next week!

Hey sorry missed your post on here I've been on my phone and its hard to read. The rims are super easy to do. Here is a link with a write up on it: http://www.ramforum.com/f75/diy_plasti_dip_my_20_chrome_clad_wheels-10522/

It will get some chips in it from rocks etc. but it is rather strong surprisingly and best part is if you chip it a little just throw another coat on to cover it up. And if it begins to need to be redone peel it off and do it over.

Awesome man, thanks alot for the link. I can't decide whether or not I want to do my rims. I don't think I do because I'm liking mine as they are. I think the truck looks alot better with just the badges done.

Finally had good weather long enough to get the Plasti-Dipping done. Here are the rest of the pics:

Side badges after a couple coats:

Side badges done. I didn't do the part of the badge that's red because I thought it would stand out nicely. Came out great:

And finally a full picture of the rear after it was done the other day!

Haha funny you mention that...we're going to the Kenny Chesney/Eric Church concert in a few weeks and today I was trying to figure out how much beer I can fit in each Ram Box. Pics of it will be up as soon as we start tailgating!
