Making the truck a little less shiny

Well today it was a wonderful day out in SW Florida, so I took it upon myself to take part in some quality in the garage. Since I have this slight issue with chrome on the truck, I thought I might make it a little less dull today. Here is the finished product of my labor today.



During the process I got a little bored and made this one up while awaiting the primer and paint to dry.



Now All that is left is the headlights and the rear bumper.

 

your addy please??
i am sending you my grille
looks good man

 

OEM toyota emblem looks niceee ... hows it look on the black grill?

 

Thanks! Was my first run doing something of that size with rattle can. Usually would just let my friends take care of it. But as they say, just be patient. I didn't paint the center or the triangles. May do that if I get a moment... But I liked how it came out otherwise. Now I just gotta find someone to do the headlights for me, that I feel is beyond my patience level.

 

looks good. nice work

 

They are definitely time consuming, but you can do it. Set aside a full weekend and go for it.
Btw, the stock emblem looks cool.

 

Thanks, my friend told me it looked like burnt flesh

But yea I had a feeling of doing it during a weekend. Or maybe get an extra set to play with so I technically wont be without lights.

 

well now that you put it like that, lol. Still a cool look. Did you see how it looked installed?

You could also do one at a time, so at least you can still drive at night. Thats what I did.

 

I didn't fully install that stock emblem. I did look at it next to the actual body color. Little different shades, but that's all I had laying around that was close to the red on hand.

 

So how did you make the emblem? Or did you buy it?

 

he bought it from metalmiller

 

That emblem I purchased from Andres on the forum. He makes them, but in limited quantities.
