Water transfer printing

Bumper is all one piece and the skid is another piece. I think they sell them with bolt on sides but mine is all one piece

I'm sending off a set of fender vents today to get dipped in carbon fiber and then matte cleared. Should have them back in a week or so. I'll post pics.

yep, did the interior of my FJ with a wood grain finish. Looks very nice.

That's what I plan on doing too or a very faint digital camo like my SE bed graphics if they have it.

I have one question: durability?

I have one question: durability?

Normally, the parts are sprayed with clear after dipping, so I would say it's fairly durable. Is there a method for changing the appearance of the plastic chrome interior pieces which would be more durable?

I'm getting a new shifter to start moving forward on my interior changes.

It's very durable. Once it's dipped it's cleared with automotive clearcoat so it's essentially as durable as the paint on your car. I have several things dipped including my hunting rifle. If anyone's interested I have a connection to a shop in Tampa Fl. You can do mail order. Pm me for the info if interested.

What's your plans for losing the chrome interior parts?

I have dipped some stuff, nothing on a Raptor though since I don't have mine yet.

It does take a little practice to get good results. I bought a couple of different kits from My Dip Kit - Water Transfer Printing -- Camo Dip Kits - Car Diping Kits - Home Hydrographics Kit, Hydro Dipping Film, DIY Water Transfer Printing Film, Activator, Camo and Dash Kits, Camouflage, Hunting, Carbon Fiber, DIY camo they have lots of patterns and work good for the DIYer for small projects.

I picked up a 2nd shifter to disasemble. The rest of the chrome, door handles and center console trim rings, I will try to do without will I get them redone. I'm leaning towards brushed black metal vinyl wrap, but also considering dipping them or maybe paint? Anything's better than the chrome.

I'll be wrapping some of the dash (center console and trim around door handles) with OD/military green and painting the silver parts Toyota cement gray. Then paint the speaker grills and upfitter switch housing matte black with some detail work. I also plan to make some small changes to the upholstery.

I also have plans for the exterior, but one thing at a time.
