How to Plasti-Dip Grille & Emblem on your Dodge RAM 

Ya? Is it easy to get the chrome looking pieces off to just paint them?

Nice!! These trucks are fun to mod! Let me know what you think of the other vids on here we did a full supercharged build on this truck 👍

Thanks Jona! Let us know how you like it when you get it done! Also check out the other RAM upgrade videos on this channel too!

No problem glad it helped! Check back for more videos, I just finished doing the special transmission fluid change procedure for our trucks and will be posting the video in the next few days!

Thanks brother! 🤘

Thanks brother I appreciate it 🤟

Yeah it worked great and lasted the couple years I had it on there before swapping to the honeycomb for a different look. The emblems are still looking great though no issues!

Wheels are actually powder coated black and are a semi gloss finish :D

Don't worry about any over-spray it literally just rubs off with your hand or a micro fiber!

Hey Kevin the wheels are actually powdercoated on my truck. I'm sure you could achieve a similar look with plasti-dip too though!

Thanks man! More to come!

Still holding up so far Mike! Been almost a year and no issues!

Wondering same thing

i just did it to my the 4x4 emblem comes out great

Hahah me too!

I was gonna comment on that too. First thing I noticed when he was doing the back emblem.

Murtaza Sherazee when you peel the tape off you have to be super careful cause it's basically a rubber coating so if you have a ton of it on the tape it will try to follow it. My advice would be to not put the tape so close to the actual chrome and leave a gap. The plastidip will break and peel at a hard edge which is what you want. Mine separated where the black plastic meets the chrome just retape further away from the chrome this time 👍🏼

Hey man that's awesome congrats on the new truck!! I'd say if anyone were to give me advice at your age it would be to just stay hungry and always push yourself to be better everyday at whatever it is that you love. A lot of people say "I wish I could do that" but in reality anyone can achieve anything if they put their mind to it. From your age until my age you will see some of your friends make leaps and bounds and others will be doing the same thing in the same place they were 10 years ago. If you are into cars and it is one of your passions you can make quite a bit of money flipping even cheap cars and car parts. I used to buy parts that "could" have gone on my own car but I knew the market value and ended up just reselling them. Also parted out a couple average joe cars years back which was worthwhile. Other than that try to have multiple sources of income and really go over your expenses. All the little things can really add up and eat into your income. I follow a lot of mindset stuff with Tony Robbins and other high achievers too. These guys have made millions and even billions so their advice is pretty solid.

Revolutionary brotha! Much appreciated and I've never followed those individuals before, I look forward to the future. Keep doing what you're doing!

I would just leave them on the truck and mask around it and spray! Thats the nice thing about plasti dip is it leaves a nice clean line around edges!

Great tip! I usually do but this can I think was just defective. Only needed 1 can for the whole job 😎

Justin Lewis hahah that damn nozzle can kept messing up, I gave up trying to clean it and just bombed it. Still turned out nice lol

Thanks for the support bro!

I just wiped it with microfiber but some rubbing alcohol or soap/water would probably help if you have time to let it dry 👍

Thanks! Yeah I had the same feelings as you. Wanted to switch it up and so far I am liking the change!

Cool, thanks.

Thanks Christopher I appreciate it! 👍

Thanks Henry! The nice thing about plasti-dip is any overspray just rubs off unlike traditional paint so leaving it on the vehicle is much easier. Also if you check out my other videos you'll see that taking the grille off the truck and removing the grille inserts is a very delicate task and the clips on the inserts are VERY fragile. I've since swapped out these grilles for a honeycomb version for a sportier look 😎

yanisbel martin you can clean using your preferred method. As long as the surface is clean with no dirt/grease/oil you are all set!

thanks

Nope no issues! Held up perfect for almost 2 years 👍

Just wash everything good! No sanding!

I’m going to do the ram 1500 symbols on the sides of the truck. Any tips for peeling the dip around the emblems? And what’s the best way to go about peeling the dip out of tight spaces?use a toothpick and twist for the tight spots?

My wheels are actually powdercoated so I don't have that worry but there are some other videos on youtube of people showing which tire shine is safe for plasti-dip. Here is a video of another guy showing which tire shine is safe and not safe to use: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DCwxIqwgv2o.html

Thanks!

Still looks perfect! Its been about 2 months since I posted the video and did it and still looks great! Let me know if you have any other questions! Have a great day!

Thanks brother! I agree! The chrome is a bit of a dated look for sure!

I might have to tackle that too! 😁😎

It last quite a long time! The more coats you use the thicker it will obviously be and last longer. I only used 1 can for everything you see in the video and it is still holding up great a few months later! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Right on. Thanks. I ended up doing this to my grille this past weekend. I took the grille off though, which made it easier to spray. It came out great! Thanks for the video.

ubo32

Yeah managed to do it with 1 can 💪

BoostedMotorsports I have a 2005 1500 and I want to fix up

GeoFagus 123 you can lay it on as thick as you want but rain or snow won't effect it. Just depends how thick you put it on so that it is more durable.

ok thanks-looks fantastic!

Yeah I think everyone is always trying to change things up to be a bit different! I think it looks good with both but just wanted to switch up the look a bit!

Yeah for $5 to do it I'm pretty happy! lol

Nope no peeling or issues and I still have the emblems coated and looking great! Ended up replacing the slats grille with a honeycomb one but it still looked great when I removed it 👍

Its all taped up Willie no paint can get through the grille...

lol I did in my newer vids as I got better 👍

Agreed! 😎

Tide Pod how long will it last ? Just curious if done right etc

lee zimby lasts upto 4 years, then usually it starts coming off because of car washing and stuff

i dont think a reversible paint should label someone as a ricer. crappy exhausts, useless wings, and fake hood scoops make sense, but plastidip can look very good if done correctly. DipYourCar.com makes amazing looking cars, and the ability to change the look of your car for cheap without spending hundred or thousands of dollars on wheels, tires, or an entire paint job seems worth it to me, especially since u can peel it. also ads a bit of protection to the actual paint! now i have seen people tint their headlights and tailights and that i will fully admit is mega ricer shit lol

Who gives a shit lmao. Only a fucking looser judges another dudes mods. Wether you drive a riced out piece of shit or a show room model build. Cars a car as long as you’re having fun

Yeah those northern winters are definitely brutal! I think if you lay enough coats you should be ok still though! Debadged looks good too! 😎

So did you repaint it?

Should look good all done! 👍

Yes sir! Just the standard Plati-Dip black nothing fancy!

Its stock on my sport model. Not a cover 😎

lol

Boosted2k hi I have 5.7 hemi 2012 here in the UK mines black with chrome . I'm thinking all chrome blacked out?

Hey Michael just showing that it can be done on the truck too! I've completely switch the look and grille inserts since this video 😎

lol 😁

they can lick my balls too while they're at it

'Cause chrome is ugly as shit

Because it's a new look

Just giving you shit. Love your videos. 😂

Monicaaaaaaaaa!!!!! (Fast and Furious Quote) 🤣

Todd J Piascik I think that was one of the coolest comments I've received yet haha! I should say I hate chrome but just wanted to try something different. Luckily plasti-dip can easily be removed and I can flaunt he chrome again if I want! Plus it's protected underneath the plasti-dip right now 👍

Kobek or just do it yourself and save money
