Cali4Runnea's (Mama's truck) Build

how about pink emblems?

Been thinking about that, still not sure how much pink I really want on it. I've seen people use clear coat plasti dip (I think?) on their chrome emblems and it makes it look like a different metal. I've thought about doing all the chrome that way at some point then painting the emblems pink and the "4" on 4Runner badges pink . I donno, just idea's...
 
i have clear on my emblems.(have no seen anyone else on here that has)
you can get plasti dip in pink online

Yes! I just looked at your thread, I looked everywhere the other night for your emblems, hubs didn't believe clear plasti dip exsisted, but I couldn't find it. I like what it does to the chrome. I've seen how you can "make" pink plasti dip, but I haven't seen where it's already made in a spray can.

edit: its cool knowing people are liking my thread

Thank you for the site! I'm so happy to know theres that many colors, could come in handy,one day!

That looks great. I'm not usually a fan of pink but that looks good! How's it ride?

Not sure how it rides yet sadly. It's parked in the driveway until Monday when I can get it,aligned. Hubs drove it the 1 min it took to get from the shop to our house and said it was good, minus the rubbing. He had to move the inner fenders when he got home and the front mud guards. Also had to do a tiny bit of trimming, but it isn't noticeable.
 
Alright, alright ladies and gents, I'm here with photos finally! They honestly aren't the ones I want to post, I want to post the finished product, but I guess that's not going to happen for a few days. They didn't realize you had to put the center caps on before mounting the wheels, and ran out of time to fix them, so the wheels look not so great, and they ran out of time to do the spoiler, boo =(. But, we'll get those things finsihed in the next couple days. Besides those little things, I think it looks pretty dang AMAZING! :D

How does the pink on the tires look? Hubs and Stepdad love them and said everyone in the shop was owwing and ahhing at my truck, hehe. =)

Okay okay, here ya go! ....................

Still need to get it aligned and the tires balanced, so no driving until Monday. =( But, it sure looks nice in the drive way!

On a side note - Thank you EVERYONE for the massive amount of help, support and encouragement, this would not have happened or even been an idea without this forum or the people in it. :)

Your truck looks awesome, i always though 4runners is a guy truck, but i see it being a female truck, with a nice touch like yours. Good job, keep it up.

Thank you! Hehe, yes, the pink definietly add's a feminane touch doesn't it? Really wasn't something I've planned for a long time, but after I got my pink T4R stickers, I figure, heck, why not add a little more pink. Hub's has got me thinking about carborn fibering my emblems pink now... we'll see.

I think it will look awesome and definitely give the truck your own signature.

Wrap the emblems in this.

Could plati-dip the grill, then wrap the emblems in that stuff, would still be subtle, but would make it pop a bit more.

I've thought about that as well, but my truck color is like the only one I don't like the black plasti dip on. I said carbon fiber, I meant vinal wrap. I'll think of somethin!
