Plasti dipped grill emblem...

It seems as something is missing here

 

Welcome to Tacomaworld!

 

It's all blank buddy

 

Having issues uploading photos

 

This is what we're getting

 

Got it now

 

Looks like this is his first post so lets give him some slack on the blank message

I dipped my front emblem at least a year ago and it looks the same now as it did when I put it on. Might have been a little overboard but I did 7 or 8 coats and it has held up great. Hopefully this answers the question that you were trying to ask

Welcome to the forum!

 

Good lol

 

I did 6 coats. Gonna do rest of emblems and might even do the wheels to save some $ buying new ones. And maybe the grill itself. The wheels are stock.

 

I must be a slacker lol. I done like 3.

 

I think im just overly detail oriented. 6 wasnt necessary...but apparantly the more coats = extra surface durability. Stands up better to weather, etc.

 

If they made a bronze I'd almost be tempted to try it on my wheels. I have the factory cheap steel wheels. I hit them with black rattle can. Let's just say it didn't have the desired effect.

 

Exactly, i think the rubber coating on mine is more likely to get "dented" than chipped lol which means it should last a long time

 

I'm ultimately gonna do an fj style "Toyota" badge. I just have the factory one double sided taped onto the mesh grill. If it fell off I wouldn't even be mad

 

My grille and tailgate emblems have lasted through 4 Phoenix summers and look the same as the day I sprayed them.

 

You can even paint those.
