Hey, thanks T4R2014. It is a refreshing boost *knee slap*
Fast forward a month and a half: Still waiting for that right donor wreck. Patience...
After 12 years, the window trim was starting to get pretty sun faded. I took on a new product called SEM Trim Black. SEM makes bodyshop grade products. This particular product dries harder than normal spray paint, giving it much more durability. The finish is flat black and looks OEM. I didn't go far enough to fill in pits or anything, the color is enough.
Pics!
Windshield wiper arms and windshield cowl (sorry, no before pics, but I assure you that it was turning white.)
Rear window trim:
Before:
After:
Left and right side window trims:
Before
After
I replaced my rear spoiler a few updates back, finally got around to painting it.
The last hoorah to finish off my can of Trim black. Removed all the wheel emblems.
Painted them, epoxied their 3 tabs back to each cap.
Too late for photos of all the stuff at once, but I'll try to update soon.
Thanks. Flares will be coated with Trim black rather than pathetic plastidip. The clear is already showing fade. I'll do that when I feel like it.

The paint is looking good. I've used it before and it is good stuff. Let me know next time you go out for some off-road time.
Ohh and where did you get those plastic logos? Do they come with those wheels? I have similar centercaps but I just painted the indented part red, yours "pop out" which is a cool solution as well.

Thanks man, I can't wait to see how well it holds up, haven't heard anything but good. They've unfortunately closed our local off road space for some stupid reason, but I'll let you know next time I'm gonna go out. It's likely just some dumb temporary thing.
Those logos are part of the centercap on the Tundra/Sequoia 17" wheels, usually chrome. I just took them off.

It's not typically available at auto parts stores, but if you go to any paint store that supplies body shops, you should be able to find it. I found mine at a store in Laguna Niguel simply called, "The Paint Store."
Or, you can check their website and find a local retailer, though the list isn't very thorough. They didn't show the place I bought my can from.

Only the front when fully compressed and turning at the same time. I hammered in my pinch welds to fit my old BFG's prior to lift, too. It rubs a little on the top of the fender liner, once it rubbed the bottom edge of the flare. Nothing a 1" BL wouldn't fix I guess.

That trim paint makes a big difference. I'm thinking I'll use that on my flares and valence of the front bumper. When you did the window trim did you just mask it all off? or remove it somehow?

I'd change up your maglite location -that'll destroy your knee in any significant impact...
My Tundra comes with knee air bags if you can believe it.
