Leave it to a young guy to teach this old guy the tricks. Thanks much for this video (great BTW) as well as your video on the AC backlights. Been putting both of these off forever.
I bought that same stuff on your recommendation. It worked GREAT. Even took the windshield wiper opening cover off, cleaned and painted it. Made a world of difference. THANK YOU.
Great video with great information. Keep up the good work. Definitely doing this to my plastics on my truck. Mines a 2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 pre-Runner V6 edition. So yeah it’s definitely a little weathered.
I agree with you that the only way to restore faded trim is to paint it. Great job. I just need to find the rubber molding for my overfenders as all four deteriorated.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for . Great job. I am replacing small rubber trim under fender and body. Study side Toyota . Keep your truck stock man looks very clean. Was offered 9g for mine there becoming a collector it seems.
Looks good. I was going to paint my valence, but for $52 I bought a new aftermarket Valence off eBay. Easy to remove and install too. A bit more pricey, but still low cost for new black plastic.
I have an 02 that's the same color as yours (Imperial Jade Mica - shame they don't offer it any more). I'm going to try this as my over-fenders aren't looking very good anymore. Mine has almost 300k on it, how about yours? No major repairs either. Just tires and exhaust.
Thanks for the video! OK, so... I am attempting this and when I used the prep spray, i was trying to be precise but it seemed that the rubber part behind the plastic, or just the grime, smeared quite a bit onto the side of my white truck (my clear coat is probably shot, so maybe that is part of the problem?) It was in the garage at the time but the sun was shining in on it while I was doing it too... it will not come off now. What should I do? I tried to spray more prep spray on it but it wouldn't budge. Goo gone did nothing. What else should I try?
Another thing.... just tried to do my grille, and the prep spray is making my chrome peel and chip off within 10 minutes of spring and wiping... I even taped beforehand! I don't know what to do now, I probably have to peel off the chrome and paint it all black 😢
what cheap tailgates are you talking about? mines beat to hell and I'm considering spending a day and a couple bucks pulling and bondo-ing dents and repainting it myself
The problem is straight from the factory brand new this trim was NEVER BLACK it's a GRAY it's not faded black trim and never paint Trim it will always come off and make your truck look like s***
I have an 03 Tacoma and I watched this videos for some ideas. Love the wind chimes.
same, and same

Very nice work! Its great to see a younger person taking pride in their vehicle. Your truck is tight and right my friend!

The chimes were alerting you it was windy lol! Great tutorial thanks great job!!
Come spring time, I’m going to do this to my fender flares. Thanks for the informative videos!!
Did this a few weeks ago with the same products and it looks great. Used index cards behind the flares. Thanks for sharing this!

@@BK_BT I will be spraying mine this spring. It's pretty easy. Base coat then clear right away. Wet sand and buff.
@@BK_BT I get most my hard to find parts for my 2000 Tacoma from sunnyside parts barn. And they actually pick up the phone when I call.
they look great ! I used a heat gun and looked good for about a month ...I am going to do this ! Leave the chrome ...
You did a beautiful job
I slid playing cards behind my fender flares before painting mine
Great idea I bet they were also much easier to slide in than the index cards I used.
GREAT VIDEO WORK! THUMBS UP! NEW SUB. I TOO HAVE A FIRST GEN TACOMA WITH LOW MILES AND I WANT TO KEEP IT LOOKING GREAT, LIKE YOURS. GLAD I TUNED IN.
I approved this message my boy ! here is tacoma fan !!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Curious how well it’s held up after two years? Great video, thx.

How many cans of the black paint did you used ?
Excellent

Does it still look good? Would like too try it
Nice video.. I'm wondering how it's holding up over time? Thanks
@@BK_BT Good to know, I'll give it a try on my 99
The idea for stuff like back to black is to use it before your trim fades.
looks nice
Dope video, thank you.
This video is two years old. How did it hold up?
How’s it holding up?
Did you painted the mirrors as well?
@@BK_BT nice, thanks bud👍🏽
Don’t know if still reading….. how is paint job holding up?

I tried rubbing alcohol also, did not work. What did work was Weiman Glass cooktop cleaner & polish of all things! 😅

I'll buy your tailgate if you decide to get a new one, i just happen to be in florida too lol
How is this product holding up after a year?

Where can I buy fenders for a tacoma 2000 of 2.4?
Nice…
My 2000 fender flares from factory are bolt on, interesting that yours are not
Yea I found out the hard way about the heat gun it makes it way worse
Would have been a ton easier to just remove the flares to paint them. Easy to do.

Dude.......got to loose the wind chimes when YouTubing 😆
Do not paint good chrome !!!!
