Plast Dip your chrome logos

Saw many videos on Youtube of many people plasti dipping their Tacoma logos. Decided to try it out. Very easy to do i must say. All you need is one can of Plasti Dip ( black.) Masking tape, newspapers to mask of the area around the area you are dipping ( spray,) and tooth picks to clean out the area in middle of certain letters. Make sure you clean your logos very well. I used qtips to clean the hard to reach areas. When applying most videos say apply 5 coats every 30 minutes which i did. And i must say they came out awesome. Looked for a blackout logo kit for my truck. Saw one for $129.00. Plasti Dip was $5.98. Plasti Dip was the way to go for sure . Attached is a short video of a person doing a logo on a vehicle.

I ordered two cans to do this when they come hopefully this weekend. I bought gunmetal and dark grey not sure which I wanted to use for my badges on my black tacoma. I want a little bit of contrast between the badges and the truck but not a lot. What color is used here?

 

Said black on the can part # 11203-6. But to me it looks like Matte black . Lowes has them in stock. And the gun metal gray also. Think about using the gun metal gray also in areas.

 

Yea must just be the lighting in the pictures looks gray is your truck black?

 

I did mine about a year ago and they are still holding up pretty well.

 

It's gray. Tried to get a good picture to show the color. The masking color shows the color black better.

 

Yea it looks good,I always liked the gray trucks with the black badges.

 

Used the grey on mine (and grill surround and wheels) and love it. I kinda half assed it the first time around, so they're starting fade after a couple years.

 

What color is your truck

 

Blue
From when I first did them

 

Looks really good.

 

Thanks! I'm gonna be recoating sometime in the next few weeks though. Edges are fading like crazy after 2 years...

 

2 years seems pretty good to me though for something this simple and cheap. have you run your truck through a car wash much in that time. Wondering how it holds up through an automatic car wash.

 

Pretty well actually. I get a minimum of one automatic wash a month. I try for every couple of weeks.

 

Yea that's good news I try to keep to about the same schedule and then at least every week when winter hits and the roads are salted

 

Did my Prerunner grille when I got it. Kept the truck a year and it was still holding up great.



Then did my 16 TRD grille almost a year ago and it's still doing great. No issues at all.

 

I am planning to do my badges after having great luck with my grill. How do you remove the overspray without removing it from the actual badge itself?

 

Wow, that 16 grille actually looks good when it's not chromed out...

 

Thank you sir! and yes the chrome kills it. lol This was it after I first bought it. Dip made a huge difference
