I need opinions. Do I completely debadge my truck or plasti-dip them black?

Keep certain ones only and plasti-dip them?

Thoughts. I’ll try to add a pic. Using iPad now.

Probably going to get varying opinions. Might want to ask for pics to see what members have. What do you plan to do with the chrome bumpers, sidesteps, mirrors, handles, etc..?

Against the white black badges would look good. You can dip them and see how you like it. I took them off of the old truck I had and when I bought the new to me truck a couple weeks ago they were already which was great. I dipped the ones on the back of my SRT Charger to see if I liked it and haven't really had the urge to remove them.

Haha, you confused yet Donny, lol... If you are leaving the rest of that chrome on there, my vote is for the vinyl overlays!

Eventually all color matched. Was quoted 350 for paint or 250 to powder coat both bumpers.

Trying to find a good deal on door handles and mirrors still.

You need color matched bumpers on that monster! And black steps and exhaust tips!

Already have quotes to color match the bumpers. It’s between paint or powder coat.

5” carven tips already installed

With that said, my vote changes. Do the badges in whatever you do with the bumpers or try and search around for all matching black badges (matte I assume). If all else fails, just debadge.

Sounds good. I didn’t know about all the different badge options and colors.

Need to do some googling.
