I thought the valances are just clear coated plastic ?

I’ve heard of people using Plasti-dip but I’m not so sure how that would hold up through harsh weather.

You'll be surprise how well plastic dip held up.
I have the TRD OR and I plastic dip my silver valance, because I couldn't stand the silver on my black 4runner lol. But I did about 5-6 coat and it holds up very well. I'm surprise I don't have a rip yet and it's been over a year.
I think as along as you do a good amount of coat it'll be pretty sturdy.

My front clip - the fenders are bedlined. The valance has made contact with rocks and whatnot too many times to count. It's pretty chewed up but whatever. Just sand it down and add more bedliner. Pretty forgiving stuff. Surprised it's held on this long. Lost the rear one in some mud within a few months after a bought the truck. I refuse to replace something that breaks so easily. If I don't end up with steel I'll find some SR5 plastics.

Plastic dipped my ORP valences several weeks back. Less than $30 and 6/7 coats on each valence. There was a good You Tube video on the subject for ORP. Have not tested in harsh weather yet. If it does not work I can peel it off.

This. Did mine 9 months ago and they still look brand new. I live in Seattle where it shits rain all the time and I wash my car regularly and there are no scrapes or plasti chips. 6 ish coats will be perfect.

Good info because I wanted to do the emblems on my 3rd gen

If you're worried about the the valance chipping, you should install paint protection film (clear Bra) over it.

For the emblem you can do maybe 4-5 coat just in case and you should be good.
