    Anybody got any good pix of wheels done with the different bronze finishes? Thinking about doing brass monkey but it seems too dull. Bronze gold seems too loud? Not sure.

    Are your fender flares originally black? If so, I like that extra protection on them. I’ve been skeptical about getting the off-road package with the black flares since they might eventually fade. Unless they are more durable?

    Posted it around a few places but might as well put it here.

    Did my TRD OR wheels in Bronze Gold. Love it so far.

    Love this stuff, quick easy changes that make a huge difference. We got my daughter's truck a month ago and blacked out all the chrome in about an hour and a half.

    Yes I plasti dipped fender flares. Had to work quick tape them off spray then remove tape at once so the dip don't dry and come off with tape. Thanks by the way. This truck of mine is base model and I just plastidiped and did all mods to have a one of a kind look.

    Plastidipped front chrome grill and all the emblems. Can’t be more happy for the price.

    I took my time with the and did about 5 or 6 thin layers. It’s been 2 years and still holding up well. No signs of anything peeling. Best thing, if/when it does just peel it off and do it again.

    That’s not bugs! You should see mine. We have Love Bugs this time of year. Washed my truck 2 days ago and it looks horrible already.

    Folks keep saying if you don't like it, you can peel it off. If true, how durable is it. Seems like it would come off easy.

    It does not come off easily, but can be peeled off with relative ease, I hear it can be tough on wheels because of the heat from the brakes. There's a difference between it wearing off and someone peeling it off purposefully. Its pretty damn durable

    anyone in california use the regular plastidip? apparently the automotive one isn't allowed or something and im trying to decide if the regular one will look decent if i spray my shell with it.

    I'm in CA and just used the regular plastidip. 4-6 coats black, 2 gloss.

    I found removing the grill and Toyota emblem was a lot easier than messing with painter's tape:

    I've gotten my tires rotated 3 times since I plastidipped my wheels in November, and there is still in tact plastidip on the lugnuts.
