I went to the local Toyota Dealership (120 mile round trip) and they quoted me at 300-350 to paint the parts the same Jade Sea Metallic as my exterior paint...but that is the dealer....they also warrantied their work for 5 years. I have not come up with the coin yet for it however.

im planning black leather with white stiching on all that you have painted this DIY was very useful for the parts i decided to paint

Kind of hard to see how fast youre going then LOL.

Check my garage. Many here have done this.

ism3t · 07-31-2007, 05:56 PM

so if someone were to try this, and ruin the paint, ie. too much paint on EVERYTYHING, what would that someone have to do to remove the paint and try again? time MAY be a factor on this one....

dvlnblkdrs · 07-31-2007, 09:53 PM

umm sand the bejeesus out of it? durrr ;)

umm_bacon · 09-18-2007, 12:25 AM

How well does the paint job hold up now that it has been some time since many of you brave souls tried this?

dvlnblkdrs · 09-18-2007, 01:55 AM

iv had mine done for almost a yr.... only one chip but, its on the handle, and very tiny.

Pitt Yaris · 02-11-2009, 04:23 AM

OOOOLD thread, but did anyone do theirs with flint mica?

Pitt Yaris · 04-04-2009, 06:29 PM

I took all the plastics apart and I'm painting the upper plastic, but I can't figure out how to get the a/c, etc. knobs apart from the plastic. Help would be appreciated.
