    I did paint it white, it was a perfect match, when I clear coated it it yellowed, was supposed to be crystal clear gloss", looks more like "yellow matte"

    I'm going to bead blast the paint off and have it done by an auto body shop

    I dipped my Tacoma grill surround, emblems and wheels. I may change it but that is the perk to using plasti dip.

    I did both, but by different means and methods.

    I did the logo myself.

    I bought a colormatch grille from camelback toyota :thumbsup:

    I tried black first but ended up going with a color matched red. I've since done the chrome grill surround red, also.

    I dipped just the emblem sort of a forest green. Looks nice. How do you copy someone's post as a reference to respond? Fairly new and haven't figured that out yet. Thanks.
