    Appreciate the pictures, these look awesome, might paint it for the long term. Fiend, how hard was it to accomplish what you did?

    Tried to youtube it, was not able to find it

    I am curious as to what parts you were going to have hydrodipped.

    If you want a quote for hydrographics let me know. Plenty of members here have had stuff done. Click the logo or thread link in my sig for some more info.

    Butcher lives right near me (newer member) so I'm getting mine hydro dipped for free when the time comes

    Plastidip is good stuff though, I use it as a primer for a lot of things as when you paint over it it hardens but can still be removed if you want to go back to factory with some work. Just have to know when and where to use it.

    Not hard at all. Just takes time waiting for the layers to dry.

    Overhead console, center console piece, front driver and passenger window switch bezels, and the radio surround.

    Dipped these parts in my old F-150... Thinking about doing the tacoma now too. Just as strong as the paint on your vehicle

    I would like to do that in a carbon fiber or maybe even a black and green zombie pattern. I saw the zombie pattern somewhere on here and it looks pretty cool, but that's my taste :p

    Love that camo!

    Must say I've been seriously considering the carbon fiber look, it is growing on me.

    I'm thinking a black walnut for mine if I can find something less brown and actual black. Girlfriend thinks it looks evil but I thinks it badass, looks like...

    I'd like my interior to at least match. But that's just me. Only difference between CF and yellow is the eye of the beholder.
