Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Technically there is a clear in all paints but not clear coat. It is a resin that is clear but known as a binder. The binder holds the pigments (color) in place.

 

Some pics I snapped on the way up to Oregon

Thanks, had a few thumpers too just sold my 16 yz250f since it sits more than my 125. Looking at buying a ktm 350 excf to ride to work. Flagged for a few supermotos when Wharton was riding. Shit is intense.

 

Wheels look perfect on it. Nice job

 

Thanks!! I was going to go with black but I figured the gray would give it a nice color contrast

Check out @iHoopAlot on here he has the matte gray wheels and they look amazing!

 

Did you take the grille off to paint it, looks great...

 

Thank you! I left the grill on, and only removed the toyota emblem. Just masked off the inside and surrounding body panels. Ended up doing 7 coats of black and 3 coats of glossifier

 

Blackest Sabbath - In Progress

 

You left some of the black part of the grille exposed, did you paint over that.? Isnt it easier to leave just the chrome exposed.? Did you get any over spray on any part of the truck at all, that's what I would be afraid of..

 

Yes, I painted over the black paint that was exposed. The plastidip peels right off for a nice clean line. I didn't get any overspray on any other part of the truck. Plastidip is very easy to work with.

 

That's a good lookin' truck.

Nice truck! How many layers of plastidip did you use on your grill?

 

Thanks! I did 7 coats of black and 3 coats of glossifier. The 3rd pic (side view) really shows the "true" color of the grill in real life. It still has a matte finish with the slightest hint of gloss

 

Tacoman408, I see you have a bakflip mx4 installed. I'm having trouble installing mine. Couple of questions if you don't mind?

Do you have a 5ft bed or a 6ft bed?
How long are your mx4 bed rails?
How long was the slot for the 's clamps'
Did you install yourself?

The reason I ask is because I think my mx4 bed rails are too short (I have a 6ft bed), my mx4 rails are 69inches long, the weather seal extends an extra inch. The slot for the s-clamps on the rails is only 60inches long (factory cut), which means I cant use 5 clamps, because the existing holes (1st and 5th) for the side rail are more than 60 inches apart.

Any help would be much appreciated.
