    How did the clear coat turn out? I've got a matte finish on both of mine right now because when I did it I read a few people complaining that the gloss yellowed the paint a little bit... Been thinking about re-doing my surround in a glossy finish, looks good!

    Is the Dupli-color super white the only Toyota color match? Or do the other colors they offer also match our Toyota factory colors?

    There is a place that you can get paint in any form to match your Toyota paint. I think they do rattle cans too.
    Let me find the link.

    Really really like how it turned out, truck looks really sharp! Gotta do that to my truck this summer, that gray grill next on an all black truck is driving me nuts...

    How much did it cost roughly, for primer, paint, and clear coat?

    About $40 for the paint and you need something to scuff it with.
