Plasti Dip (Blacking Out) Emblems, Side Mirrors, & Running Boards

[HoustonVol]

Have been so tired of the chrome on my new truck, so I've started the process of blacking all the chrome out.  Took about 4 hours today, but I completed the emblems, side mirror caps, and running boards.   Here's a YouTube video I created if anyone's interested.

Awesome. I’ve done this on one of my Camaros. Thought about doing it to my truck. I like how it looks on yours.

Very nice!  I have an LTZ with too much chrome so going to chip away at some of it. How well will it hold up on bumpers?

Thank you. I’ve used it on wheels before and they’re still in great condition 4 years later. I anticipate any issues to be with the front and rock chips, etc.  $5 in costs and a few hours, I figure it’s worth a shot.

Thanks, man. All the chrome looked good with the chrome bumpers and wheels, but my goal is to lift, and swap to black wheels so my personal taste is to black it all out. Fingers crossed the end result looks like how I envision it in my head! Lol

I did it on my GMC Elevation. It drove me crazy that that GM designed the Elevation with black out and body matched parts and then put chrome badges all over it.
