2022 emblem blackout options?

Yeah might just go that route. Did you scuff it up at all before painting or just clean it and let it rip?

 

Quickest for emblems is plasti-dip. Tape off around the badge, thoroughly clean and lay down a bunch of heavy coats. Peel tape and remaining plasti-dip off the paint and Bobs your uncle. Did it on my 4runner 3 or 4 years ago and its starting to get a little light around the edges but still looks good and easily touched up.

 

I sanded it with some 80 grit

 

That looks like a great match, do you know what brand and color spec used?

 

Plastidipped mine last night and it came out great. We will see how long it lasts. Once it starts to peel and/or get scratched I'll just sand and paint it.

 

No need to even take the time to tape it off, at least on a Gen3. You can pop it out of the grille with 3 tabs on the back. Takes all of about 5 seconds.

 

That one is easy, I was referring to all of the other badges around the truck that are double stick taped on

 

Ah gotcha. No worries there in my case as I took them all off! Truck looks way better de-badged IMO.

 

The wrap is 3m vampire red, color is damn close it's a satin finish.

 

Clear PPF over that and it'll look factory

 

If anyones looking for just the front black emblem layover ebay has one for $53 https://www.ebay.com/itm/3541822192...MI3LK54MKs-QIVJMmUCR2LVAWzEAQYASABEgK2RfD_BwE

 

Having a hard time getting the emblem off.
I can find the tabs and the bottom one is easy sides are another story.
Push toward center or away from center?

 

Towards center.

 

I just recently blacked out my emblems using HyperDip. Easy to work with and its fairly cheap, and once you tired of it, you can just peel it off. Lays on pretty clean & smooth. better then regular plastidip.

 

Did you take the badges off, or just tape around them? They look great!

 

I taped around. So just like any other plastidip, you leave about an inch of space around your emblem and you spray 3-4 tac coats and 6-8 wet coats. once its thick and dry, you peel the edges and it automatically cuts itself at the lettering. Easy to use, lots of videos on their site on how to do. it withstood a pressure wash already too.

 

if you dont mind my asking, did you get the single can or the $51 one?

 

I bought the emblem kit that comes with 2.
I just recently bought the grill and window trim kit that gets here today. Going to try it on the window trims, mustache and rear bumper panels.
I got quoted for vinyls from 6-7 places and all were expensive. Lowest was $700 and their reviews weren’t great. I figured I can dip everything for under $200. If it comes out great, perfect, if not, I can just peel it and I haven't lost too much money.
so far I’m digging the emblems

 

here is a close up of the other ones. And btw the handle overlays I got from Amazon which came matte black are also coated with hyperdip to match the color of the emblems. I used “Shadow Black” which is a satin finish

 

I’m selling my emblem covers if anyone is interested. They are for 2022 limited. I’m going to hyperdip mine instead. I paid $130 for the covers.

 

Here is the tailgate handle and rear bumper panels I HyperDip'd yesterday. FYI, the amount of spray used goes up exponentially vs. surface area. Just for reference, I used 2 cans for 6 emblems, and 4 door handles. The tailgate handle and rear bumper panels took 2 cans of their own. Next up is mustache, fender flares and window trim (Need a full day off since I have to disassemble bumper and flares to change grill and have a clean finish).

 

Do you have a link or seller name for those door handles? Can't seem to find them on Amazon.

I purchased the layover emblem featured in this posting and was not satisfied with the fitment of the emblem. This is listed as Genuine Toyota part #PT948-34222-02
but fits like it's 3rd party. During the application process the item never lays completely flat on all surfaces of the Toyota emblem and therefore never felt secure. Application surface was prepped with 70% alcohol, currently awaiting feedback from the seller.

 

Phase 3: hyperdip’d the front mustache and front emblem, when I took off the limited grill and swapped with a TRD grill.

 

I'm having trouble popping off my emblem. I can get the bottom tab to release, but the 2 sides don't seem to budge. Is there a trick to it. Thanks

 

No trick. Just push the tab inward toward the center of the emblem and pull outward on the emblem with other hand at the same time.
Edit: you can also push on the tab from inside to push out and in at the same time.

 

Just spray painted the Toyota emblem on the grill of my platinum. Dupli Color

$32 SHD1000 7 Shadow Chrome Black-Out Coating, 1 Kit, 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)

SHD1000 Shadow Chrome Black Out Coating matches pretty good with the black/smoke chrome grill on the platinums, looks way better then the orginal chrome anyways. I did 3 coats of the blackout and 3 coats of the clear.

 

Im looking to do the same for my platinum. Did you remove the emblem ? Also did you sand it first?

 

I removed it, and just cleaned it with achohol. The paint is made to go on plastic chrome auto parts so it adheres well.
