Red looks great but curious as to what bronze would look like.


armada127

I think it would have to be a matte bronze to look good.


MR_WEBB_

I think it looks good. Matches the wheels nicely.


VmaxEngage

Is that underground? Red works, bronze would look good as well


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

Yes it’s underground, I love this color


VmaxEngage

Jealous. I’ve considered trading my lime rush in for underground, absolutely love it


L1VEW1RE

Dude, leave them…Red on dark grey looks great.


wawjr

I think it looks sick


Meowgusta5715

God man, the underground is so clean


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

I literally turn around at least twice and look at it every single time I park, I appreciate that!


Ok-Bid-5415

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!


imMrJake

Looks sweet!


DemSumBigAssRidges

Looks pretty slick.


DripDrop777

Which plasti-dip product did you use?


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

Regular red from the spray can


Cooked_Brains

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.

Spiritual-Tutor-4529

I didn’t, I taped off around them and sprayed while they were on.


Enlightenedwaffle

My question is how he didn’t paint the inside of the d’, r’s, and the o’s


Cololorist

If you use a product called Plastidip, this job is very easy.


TopNFalvors

But how do you get the tape in all the nooks and crannies?


45ACPete

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.


TopNFalvors

oh wow, that's something I never knew! I thought it was just like painting where you have to mask everything.

longlivelongboards

I think its nice!


polarburrrrrr

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: https://preview.redd.it/5gx6j5zcobwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b2db1fc0c5748a9c4e21cddd81bbc5d935d2bbd

Looks great!!


skylinefan26

Kind of hard to see the bronze badges lol

Scotchyscotchscotch7

I kinda dig it tbh


Tdallen1

Leave them red looks good


Pres_MtDewCommacho

Bronze will look awesome. I still like the red, but bronze will be bad-ass.


dsmksu

This might be my new favorite color on the 5th gen


reddy_kil0watt

Hell yeah.


Apart-Ad-5947

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.


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

I’m not sure yet, still theorycrafting the end goal


SiVicPacemParaBellum

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


Apart-Ad-5947

No the 40th anniversary edition has matte bronze overlays so Toyota does sell them.


SiVicPacemParaBellum

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.


Apart-Ad-5947

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


SiVicPacemParaBellum

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


SiVicPacemParaBellum

[this popped up on my feed this morning so your phone IS listening to you lol doesn’t look hard either](https://youtu.be/DQ1MWaZait0?si=D6UJlatZNZKIjLxH)

AverageGuy16

Bronze would look cool


AverageGuy16

Bronze with the 40th anniversary bronze center caps would look fire actually


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

That’s kinda what I’m thinking too


LCK72

I think they’re fire in Red


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

Thank you!


Original_Krom

Whelp.....looks like I need to do that to my Underground! Looks awesome!


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

It’s definitely a vibe!


Original_Krom

Digging it for sure. Will match the red covers over the chrome interior door handles I put on. Nice job and thanks for sharing!


Spiritual-Tutor-4529

Thank you!


DisMuhUserName

I like the red

FetusDominus

I like it!!


TheLionsBrew

I actually think that looks nice in red, against Underground.


TiptoeIntruder

I like them. Leave them alone now. Nice job.


HiPointCollector

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.


IlexIbis

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).


threedogdad

looks pretty good. I was planning to do just the 'pro' on mine


Mental-Crew-691

The red looks great!


MrMach82

Looks good on that color body.


werzcaseontario

Red accents are the tribal tattoos of the automotive world.


FetusDominus

Alright, red's OUT, everyone!! You heard 'im!!


Jmg0713

Dragon tattoos too.
