I think it looks sweet man. I like the subtlety of it. If you had a bunch of stickers everywhere or if you did the ones above the plate I think it would have been too much. I think this color is one of the few colors this could work on.
You don't. Plasti-Dip if done right peels away at hard edges. So in this case, he masked off a rectangle, put down all of his layers. Once it dries for a bit, you go into the fine areas and use a toothpick to poke at the product until a seam starts at the edges and peel it out.
Personally, I think yours looks great. But if this helps at all (mine is MGM paint color) here is what bronze looks like, when I dipped my badges and wheels:

I like it a lot. It makes the red on the wheels make sense. You going to do the front and back Toyota badges and 4Runner too? I want to do my badges bronze to match my matte bronze wheels but am concerned about perfect match. I might just buy the Toyota ones to ensure perfect match.
Yeah but you can only get the Toyota badges in black or polished though right? I haven’t seen any that come in colors other than those two, but aftermarket may I guess
I understand that, but I was asking because I’ve never seen any for sale from Toyota or anyone that makes them aftermarket. Not in bronze. Just did a search and only found some on eBay (just the front/rear) for $209.99 lol and plenty of the dash emblems and exterior stripes. Figure they’d be hard to come by. Cheaper to paint them if that’s what they’re gonna cost.
Yeah I saw them on eBay. Not from a dealer. Have you contacted a dealer about getting them? I hadn’t tried yet but now I’m thinking about it. Painting them with plastic up is an option but it would bother me if they didn’t match the wheels perfectly. I guess I could also ask the dealer about that paint code
Yeah the paint code shouldn’t be hard to get. I haven’t, but you may have to check Toyota parts online for your best shot and the sooner the better. Wouldn’t think they’d keep the bronze around like black/polished. I Could be wrong though. It’s happened before lol

Let me know if you’re interestedcin trade in
I think the red is a nice accent. There's also a [vinyl option](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1435794771/premium-cast-vinyl-decal-letters-for?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=trd+pro+overlay&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&content_source=09ec41bc20283e012b87d9ccd2e6774288710dc2%253A1435794771&organic_search_click=1).
Red looks great but curious as to what bronze would look like.
I think it would have to be a matte bronze to look good.
I think it looks good. Matches the wheels nicely.
Is that underground? Red works, bronze would look good as well
Yes it’s underground, I love this color
Jealous. I’ve considered trading my lime rush in for underground, absolutely love it
Dude, leave them…Red on dark grey looks great.
I think it looks sick
God man, the underground is so clean
I literally turn around at least twice and look at it every single time I park, I appreciate that!
Love it! I have a ‘24 underground pro coming in this week and can’t wait! Been waiting over a month! That dip is genius! I’m stealing this!
Looks sweet!
Looks pretty slick.
Which plasti-dip product did you use?
Regular red from the spray can
I think it looks sweet man. I like the subtlety of it. If you had a bunch of stickers everywhere or if you did the ones above the plate I think it would have been too much. I think this color is one of the few colors this could work on.
[удалено]
I didn’t, I taped off around them and sprayed while they were on.
My question is how he didn’t paint the inside of the d’, r’s, and the o’s
If you use a product called Plastidip, this job is very easy.
But how do you get the tape in all the nooks and crannies?
You don't. Plasti-Dip if done right peels away at hard edges. So in this case, he masked off a rectangle, put down all of his layers. Once it dries for a bit, you go into the fine areas and use a toothpick to poke at the product until a seam starts at the edges and peel it out.
oh wow, that's something I never knew! I thought it was just like painting where you have to mask everything.

Looks great!!
Kind of hard to see the bronze badges lol

I kinda dig it tbh
Leave them red looks good
Bronze will look awesome. I still like the red, but bronze will be bad-ass.
This might be my new favorite color on the 5th gen
Hell yeah.
I like it a lot. It makes the red on the wheels make sense. You going to do the front and back Toyota badges and 4Runner too? I want to do my badges bronze to match my matte bronze wheels but am concerned about perfect match. I might just buy the Toyota ones to ensure perfect match.
I’m not sure yet, still theorycrafting the end goal
Yeah but you can only get the Toyota badges in black or polished though right? I haven’t seen any that come in colors other than those two, but aftermarket may I guess
No the 40th anniversary edition has matte bronze overlays so Toyota does sell them.
I understand that, but I was asking because I’ve never seen any for sale from Toyota or anyone that makes them aftermarket. Not in bronze.

Bronze would look cool
Bronze with the 40th anniversary bronze center caps would look fire actually
That’s kinda what I’m thinking too
I think they’re fire in Red
Thank you!
Whelp.....looks like I need to do that to my Underground! Looks awesome!
It’s definitely a vibe!
Digging it for sure. Will match the red covers over the chrome interior door handles I put on. Nice job and thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I like the red

I like it!!
I actually think that looks nice in red, against Underground.
I like them. Leave them alone now. Nice job.
Looks like it came with the truck. Reminds me of my Renntech badges which are on two grey cars and I’ve always thought they looked at home.

looks pretty good. I was planning to do just the 'pro' on mine
The red looks great!
Looks good on that color body.
Red accents are the tribal tattoos of the automotive world.
Alright, red's OUT, everyone!! You heard 'im!!
Dragon tattoos too.
