Sorry guys, no quality pics yet. It's holding up great, just wanna do it again because it's too thin. I should have used something like 8 cans, but 5 was all I could buy from two stores and I had the time. Its holding up great though and still has a two tone look (matte and gloss) which I really like. I'll try to get some better pics when I can.

Hoe hard was it to do the LED Taillights? I really want to do it on mine, once I get the money! Oh and if you don't mind me asking, how much were the taillights? No need for a special connector?

I appreciate the comments guys! I STILL have to get out there to do it again as soon as I have a free day with nice weather. It's holding up pretty well so far, but it is just too thin. I was vacuuming the cargo area and the hose rubbed against the rear bumper, scraping some off. I touched it up and it looks fine, but the first time I did this (with only 5 cans) I basically tried to get as many coats as possible before running out. I have 7 more cans in the garage waiting for me, and if need be I can probably go buy more too.
Only prep work was wash and dry cladding. Next time, I think I'm just gonna take it to one of those DIY car washes and spray wash and spot-free rinse it, letting it air dry. Last time I washed and dried my truck, the plasti dip's rougher surface grabbed at the towel, leaving a bit of lint here and there.
I also want to figure out a different way to mask. It's a lot more difficult than it looks. Took me hours to mask the first time, and I still got a bit of overspray on the paint (rubbed right off, but still a PITA). I'm thinking I'll try the plastic tarp and a sh!t load of painter's tape next time.
I promise I have not forgotten about this thread and really want to get back out there and do it again. (Maybe this Friday, fingers crossed!!)
@20034RunnerV84x2- LED Taillights are one of the easiest (but not cheapest) mods you can do. Just plug and play, nothing more to it. I paid almost $300 for my set. They are genuine Toyota OEM parts, not aftermarket. I quickly returned the aftermarket set I tried first because the LEDs were horrible in comparison and it did not fit as easy as it should have.

I honestly just need a picture to see how the cladding black looks. It doesn't have to be perfect just a clear picture. PM me one if you can or I guess I'll wait. Thanks either way

Still not the best pic, but I hope it can hold you over till I get the good camera out, lol. This was taken 2 weeks ago.

Are there any products out there to truly make the cladding look ''black'' without having to put a coating on there?
That really does look good. Just wish it was easier for u guys than plasti dip.

Honestly that looks so much better than the flat grey !! I 'd go so far to say $$ if available do it permanently , I mean really that looks tuff !

On something like faded flares and for that much trouble you should have just painted them unless you want to go back to the faded plastic look.
