    I doubt it, regular paint wouldn't last against that either, and I rarely fold in my mirrors.

    For painting the calipers or drums (brakes) use a high temp caliper automotive paint. For the rear axle and such, any paint thats meant for outdoor metal use is good. I plan on doing mine soon and clearcoating it

    Okay, so I'm gonna be lazy here and just ask instead of sifting through 263 pages looking since I've been searching for an hour now :pccoffee:.

    Anyone plasti-dipped the chrome grille surround on a BRM taco? Pics? I've seen it done on just about every color and some look good, some not so much. Just curious as to how it will look since the BRM is such a deep, dark blue. I'm thinking of painting my badges black or just removing them and possibly doing a rhino liner type something-or-another to the chrome back bumper. Which also brings up the question, what's the best way to paint (or whatever) the chrome bumper and it hold up well. I derped my last one but a few rock pecks and the chrome showed through....:facepalm:

    I definitely prefer the color-matched option. Eventually I will get a satoshi grille, but until then I'm thinking the derp might be bearable. Especially if I do away with all chrome and either black out badges and bumper or remove badges and replace bumper. Thanks for the pic!

    Is there a chrome version? My grill surround is currently color matched with my silver streak taco. I want it chrome without having to get a new grill. I've looked at wraps but they seem to crack and peel...

    Also if anyone has done their scoop insert black I'd love to see it. I'm on the fence bc I can't find any pics online of it done.

    I am sure you will find many guys here willing to trade you. Most people seems to want to move from chrome to color matched.
