Painted the silver parts on the Yaris black... - Toyota Yaris Forums

vacantj · 09-01-2007, 03:03 AM

I painted the silver pieces black and changed the badges to Belta and Netz badges that do not belong on it but I think it looks cool - also the japanese plate I think looks cool on the car..

I get my wheels next Saturday (I bought the 5zigen SC3000 wheels but I'm thinking I should of got black ones instead of the ones I bought - What do you guys think?

The rear looks goon with the smoked tails. It's subtle, I like it. Love the steelies too!

:)

did you pay to have it done or DIY? if you did it yourself how did you paint the chrome trim above the license plate, and what materials and paint did you use?

+1 the badge you have does not belong on a Belta, only cars sold though the Netz network
here is a link to the cars sold on the Netz network

That looks really nice.

I love the wheels you bought in silver (very Euro-Japanese), but with your car's trim in black and smoke, I definitely would have gone with black wheels to complete the look.

Like the Japanese number plate as well... but if you're going that way, I would have kept the car authentic and stuck with the Toyota badges.

BTW, where's the Belta badge?

I like everything but the badges

looks good, i don't no anything about the badges, but they look good to

On the trim above the license plate I painted it myself someone had done a DIY thing on painting the emblems (I think it was Violin) but I'll look for the list of things and post it.. (I think it was sand paper #?, primer, paint, gloss thing and then buff it out - but I'll look for the detail list and post it - all of it was like $26 from Auto Zone and the license plate holder and the muffler tip I got them powder coated (I think that's the name of it)

Looks very good whit the painted pieces. Go for black wheels to complete the theme.

This is what I used to paint the chrome trim above the license plate:

(I used glossy black paint instead of flat black)

800grit wet sand > plastic adhesion promotor primer > base coat > clear coat.

Let it settle a few days, then compound pase the emblem, buff clean, then wax.

Install.
