    Dipped my rear bumper caps. I'll have to touch them up in a few spots soon. I like them so much better than the chrome from their previous lives.

    I'm sure it's been asked 84.5 times but I can't seem to find the answer. How does the rustoleum (sp?) Brand hold up to the plastidip brand? I get my 1st weekend off this year coming up and was going to do my truck and by little brothers new to him 4runner. Going on the colors of the can caps, the rustoleum red is more of what I'm looking for than the plastidip that wally world had. But if the quality isn't great I'll suck it up

    Never tried the rustoleum myself, but I've heard from lots of people that plasti-dip is way better. I have used the dip and was amazed by how user friendly and forgiving it is to newbies like myself.

    Derped my grill yesterday, I think it came out really well. May try dipping the Tacoma badges today, but think I may end up taking them off.

    Just clean everything real well. Then you're good to go..

    OOps ... you may want to remove the grill...it's easy... better then covering the truck...
