Color match lower front valance area ?

What is best way to color match this lower bumper area. A few installers told me Vinyl wrap may not be best as it isn't smooth.
What have you guys done?
Thanks in advance.

 

It can be painted. Toyota paints a lot of textured plastic bumper pieces.

 

Local body shop can get them, may need a VIN number off of a truck that came with one unless your guy is willing to do some digging for you. Not gonna be cheap though. Other options are: order from Toyota (also not cheap) local junk yard (gonna have to get lucky) sometimes pop up on the marketplace here but they usually go pretty quick.

Painting the textured material never looks right if it's next to smooth painted parts of the same color.

 

If you are handy with a spray can, try paintscratch.com . You can get your exact color in a can or pint (for spray gun).

 

Good luck finding one. I couldn’t get one from Toyota and finally after two years and lots of patience I was able to find a color matched valance for sale on this forum...keep an eye out and one will come up for sale. But just like some items like the BBS PRO wheels it will go fast so be ready to purchase ASAP. I will keep an eye out for you as well.

 

Saw one on ebay I was thinking about getting but it had a damaged tab.

 

Isn’t a winch supposed to go there

 

My body shop just got finished Painting mine. I had the lower bumper and chrome surround painted as well as the back of the mirrors. It changes the entire look.

 

It can be painted. It just needs a good primer (plastic adhesion promoter). The Sport and Platinum ones are just painted plastic.

 

Hey, can you post a pic or 2 of your flares please?

 

You have a build thread? I'd like to see more of this truck.

 

I was curious to see if you had your front end painted. I did mine also and painted the back of the side views.
