    Thank you! Since the tailgate emblems are discontinued should I put on the new Tacoma emblems? And if I do continue with the red emblems or go black for those?

    Very nice truck, looks bad ass in orange. I've been tossing the idea around for awhile now to repaint. I can't find anything less than 4k to do it though. Is that around what you paid?

    Looks good! Do you have pictures of the paint process? A list of the materials/paint used? I'm looking at painting my 2000 and would be nice to see how other people are doing DIY paint jobs.

    I uses all Spies Hecker products, from primer all the way to the clear. There's a few pictures of the process.

    I am a painter and did all the work myself. 4K sound pretty cheap. If I had done it for someone the whole project would have been only the paint job with materials would have been around 7k

    Nice job. How did you do your wheels? I’ve powder coated my wheels, within months starts flaking. Last time I’ve painted my wheels same thing.

    I painted the wheels with the same type of paint i did the rest of the truck. The most important procedure is spraying epoxy primer once you have the wheels downy to bare metal. Fortunately for me they are aluminum alloy that had never been refinished. Didn't take much work to prep them.
