That looks good, I was planning on doing the same to bridge the gap between now and when I actually have money to buy wheels and new suspension. First to get the current suspension sorted.

My T4R had the front bumper Plasti-dipped when I bought it and now has a couple of quarter sized spots peeling. What's the best way to repair this?

Plasti dip is awesome! I’m getting ready to plasti dip my chrome on my 4runner soon!

Cool

What kind of surface preparation are you doing before applying the plasti dip?

Good Job, going to be doing mine soon too.

Does anyone know if the Plastic Dip will come off when you wash your car with a pressure washer?

Were there ever any pics posted of the tires on the vehicle?

I've done this to my 5.0 Emblems on a prior Mustang of mine, it wasn't too bad. But I've been thinking of getting these emblem overlays for the 4runner.

Man, that came out clean. May do it myself!

At some point I’d like to try the matte clear they have. I love that it is relatively inexpensive to shoot a whole truck, and semi-permanent too.

I looked into matte vinyl wraps, but the shops near me start at about 4,500. There are definitely other things I’d rather do to the truck if I had that cash lying around.

I like the idea of using cards for the wheels. I plastidipped the steelies on my old car (99 Ford Explorer) as well as a few other areas. Really love the stuff.

How did it turn out? any adhesion issues? I was considering doing my old aluminum wheels on my gen3. How did you prep?

Nice job on OP's emblems. I'm also curious about the wheels.

My badges are definitely getting blacked out ASAP. Wheels next. Looks good!

Nice. Just got an 08 Limited 4WD in Shadow Mica and am thinking about dipping my wheels. Not sure what color will look good.

Matte clear sounds very interesting. Any downsides to this? I can imagine yellowing from UV being one, possibly.

No adhesion issues when putting it on, but as time went on, the edges started to chip/peel. Definitely could've been touched up at the end, but besides that, adhered pretty well.

Need to pull the trigger and do this...

Not if you’re careful, but if you blast it up close for several seconds in one spot, you’ll peel it.

thanks Blue! I'll try to be careful next time I wash my car.
