    I just purchased a set of OE mud flaps, but have not installed them yet. I'm thinking about painting them Silver Sky Metallic to match the truck. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, and how does it look. :notsure:

    Nah. I've seen other trucks with color matching mud flaps. It's...nah.

    As much as I like the color matched things on my truck, I think having color matched mud flaps would look tacky. Leave them black.

    It looks good on cars and luxury suvs. I've always wanted to put the old school 4X4 white lettering on mine.

    Would the paint even stick or would it turn into a peppered mess?

    Reminds me of 90's trucks with running boards that blend into the mud flaps.

    Hard pass.

    Am looking for a link on the internet that has Mudflap Decals for my 2016 Tacoma, TRD Offroad 4 X 4. I saw some that said TRD and had the Toyota Emblem but can't find the link. Any help would be appreciated. Love to add little stuff to my Tacoma that makes it look a little different.

    I don't care for the look, beside would be difficult to get paint to stick for any length of time. Look good black.

    The backside, rear facing, wouldn't be affected though.
