2013 CrewMax Paint to Match Project

Whats up guys?

Just posting my progress on the truck, as well as provide some insight on color matching, incase someone is interested in doing the same.

Started out with a plain canvas (new phone, so I don't have pictures, before it was leveled).

This is post leveling kit. Went with 3" front level, none in the back. Tires are 275/65/20 Toyo Open Country AT:



Got tired of the chrome front and back, so pulled them off and painted them. Process was just a basic chrome process. I scuffed/sanded the bumpers/grill, used etching primer, regular primer, then coated with 040 color match paint. Came out awesome, and the black plastics really pop on it:

Then, I was bored and wanted to try removing the B-Pillar panel vinyl. It was kind of dull, and scratched.. and I had been wanting to replace it with gloss black.. so I figured I'd pull it and see how white looks. I like it.. but may end up going gloss black in the future.

 

That is a great improvement. Well done! Also, welcome from CO!

 

Lookin' good Evan!

 

The front looks really good in the after pics.

 

Looks great. Really want to do this but can't seem to find a good deal on it.
