To paint or not to paint...that is the question

Well the truck is getting wrapped satin khaki green by Avery. The pocket flares are difficult to wrap with the deep bolt recesses. I think I'm gonna paint them to match the bumper.

 

Full wrap? How much is that running you?

 

Full wrap with no door jambs. I buddy of mine owns a wrap shop so I'm just paying materials. Around 600$. Started today....

 

Nice hookup!

 

Yes sir! I also have a great detailer and wheel repair guy. Definetly comes in handy.

 

Heck yeah. Around me a full wrap would probably cost 2-2.5K.

 

Just realized your from Centerville I'm from Manassas and the shop is exotic vehicle wraps in dulles

 

HOLY SHIT. Think I might be able to get in on the friendly price??

 

Probably not free friendly lol. I can ask him tomorrow what a wrap would typically cost and see what he can do. You should look them up though. They do fantastic work. They did all my accents before the wrap too (hood stripe, tinted tail lights, clear bra, etc.) I'd defiantly give them two thumbs up.

Do the flares and just cut around the recesses. I think they would look good matching the bumper too so either way.

 

Scuff them, clean them, and they make an adhesion promoter for plastic. Funny you and Boogie on here and I work in the body shop for Dulles

 

Which body sbop?

 

I work for MWAA at the body shop for Dulles airport

 

Lol what a small world

 

I'm out of work for the next while recovering from surgery but usually up and down 28 never seen your truck

 

I leave for work around 5:30 and come back around 4 everyday....might be why.

 

Get some Krylon Fusion Satin Black and paint them. It is meant for plastic and looks identical to OEM black plastic trim. It will look similar to the flares that came on the base model Tacomas. I feel like the bedliner may crack and getting it evenly into the faux rivet holes may be difficult. Just my $.02

 

That Is exactly what I worry about with the truck bed liner.

 

Awesome thanks man. Shoot me a PM if you get a price for a wrap.

 

I usually get to the airport around 5:30 and leave at 2:30 and hate driving there either way. Have you not joined the local thread? I guess depends on where you live but there's the NOVA thread then there's the one down here where I live
