    So I am considering making my TACOMA emblems BRONZE. Id like to make them Bronze and Black somehow but cant think of way to do so. Taping them off seems like it might be too difficult especially on the inside parts.
    Do you like the looks of this or stay with Black?
    Any ideas of getting the Color to match better to my wheels?
    Any ideas of making them Bronze and Black?
    Ill get more pics later.
    BTW I am looking at doing my TACOMA Sport decals in black and bronze also.

    I think the bronze by itself would make the emblems pop and look good with your wheels.

    I think bronze if you still have your Fred Durst fan club card, swear that Pearl Jam is the best band on the planet...ever, and still own a car with a speaker box and a pit of Rockford Fosgate 12” subs in the trunk.

    This bronze craze is out of control!

    IMO the bronze emblems would look better on a darker vehicle, but do as you please!

    I debadged my truck and painted my front toyota emblem bronze 3-4 years ago... Bronze definitely looks killer but gonna be changing my color scheme as it's becoming too popular for my liking. Luckily I can powder coat my stuff for free since Im a powder coater!

    Thinking of going this route or an anodized color perhaps

    Just plasti-dip 'em! Don't worry about taping off, just spray and use Isopropyl Alcohol to wipe off the overspray. Then, if you don't like it, it'll peel right back off. I recommend at least 6 coats

    Well I don’t know if your local to me haha but you would have to order the powder yourself from prismatic powdercoating because it’s a custom color we don’t carry in stock. Besides that I could do em free...

    Well maybe for a beer or two

    Both looked good to me initially. But after a very short period of time, the black quickly became my choice. The bronze just looks like it's 'too much'!
    The bronze reminded me of those cheap plastic chrome stick on add-ons that people would buy, and stick all over their car thinking that it looks cool.
    But that's just me. It's your truck and do whatever you like.
