A good rule of thumb when using spray paint cans, you will get the best results if you get some hot water and let the can sit in it to heat up the paint and of course shake the can very well, the paint will spray more evenly. 👍
It looks great! About 2 years ago I had mine powder coated matt black. It's still looking good.
Nice!
Looks WAY better BlacK!
Agreed!
I think it looks better than the original gray!!
Agreed!
Nice one
Thanks!
Outstanding videos brother!!!
Thank you!
NICEEEE!!! i think im going to do this to mine! I have a White 2023 TRD and black would look wicked under the truck !! Nice work nice video !!
Thanks!
Wow 😮 amazing
Sick af! I know what I’m doing this weekend
Hell yeah!
How did it turn out?
Tinker's Adventure brought me here 😊 THANKS Yota Expedition !
Thanks for stopping in!
Painted mine- love the blacked out look!
how many cans you used?
1 can is enough.
I had no idea the letters came off like that. I will now buy a skid plate and paint it like you did and...there you go!!! Thanks for the video.
Glad we could help!
Looks awesome, but me personally, I would've left off the red letters.
Looks awesome.. definitely doing mine the same.
It does look good!
Much Better
Right?! I agree.
Hey YotaX… going to tackle the paint job. Amazon now has a trim black Ultra… this the same stuff?
And how many cans needed for the skid plate?
Thank you guys for great videos and great products
1 can will be enough. Any paint will be fine, it's all personal preference.
Yes please offer an OEM one with a powder coated finish!
What would you be willing to pay for the powder coating?
@@yotaxpedition Absolutely! Full disclosure I’m too lazy to do it all myself so being able to order it all done directly from you would be perfect. Also I prefer OEM over the third party options that already exist out there
@@yotaxpedition my bad I read your original question wrong, I would think for a skid plate anywhere in the $300 range wouldn’t be outlandish 🤔
Cartrimhome sells one for $250
Krylon Semi flat black works very well for trim blackout.
In the past my lemon 19 trd pro I just pried off the letters, replaced with a color of my choice after self etching priming and painting black with rust oleum pro flat black while on the vehicle. My current 4runner I did lots of painters tape steps to make it match my 40th edition. I look forward to finally get it on once we get a dry weekend.
Lol the end is the best 😂
Would you just look at it!
No need for a clear coat?
I want a KDSS kit, oil change friendly panel and jn black with white letters for my ORP
Oh the black plate and white letters will looks sweet!!
How does it look after driving in the weather?
Where do u get the lettering?
The TRD lettering comes on the skid plate
I noticed you left one bolt in while painting it. Probably for anyone doing this remove all the bolts or leave them all in so it matches.
We painted all the bolts heads. They just weren't all in the skid plate
@@yotaxpedition ahhh got ya
Why didn't you upgrade to the skid plate with the oil filter access panel?
The TRD skid plate with the oil access is not OEM. I just installed the black Car Trim Home version, with the oil filter access today.
@@lep32456 So you did upgrade to the skid plate with the access panel...didn't see that in the video.
Google Car Trim Home and you will find an aftermarket skid plate similar to the TRD with an oil access cover.
I have that already...done with this conversation.@@lep32456
How is it holding up since u installed it. Does the paint chip easily?
how long does the paint last? car wash removes all paint?
Really depends on what paint you use and how you prep it. But a car wash shouldn't affect it.
Thanks for the diy video, planning on doing the same. Question on the skid itself, what bolts and how many spacers do you have sandwiched together? Asking as my 4R is lifted and i feel the skid hitting the frame or lower control arms, even with 1 spacer on each corner.
Well we have added spacers since we put on a diff drop (which were probably gonna remove). You can probably just add a thicker washer and resolve the issue you are having.
How many sprays did u use please ?
Thanks
1 can will be fine
How many cans did it take
You can buy a black one now and get them in red or black letters. Although if you’ve already got one 🤷♂️ I’d probably have it powder coated or bed line it instead of rattle cannin it.
Powder coating cost a lot of money for something that will get ruined. At least with spray paint you can easily fix it.
Hi yota Xpedition just want to ask i'm planning to install 2.5 leveling kit to my 4runner limited 2023 do i need to change my suspension system thank you.
No you don't. You can install the leveling kit on your stock suspension.
@@yotaxpedition do i need to change my rear shock if i install 2.5 inch front and rear leveling kit thank's
Good job…just missing safety equipment… thank you for sharing
How does that trim paint hold up especially on oem shiney valances? I have new ones and want them matte finish, If I could sell them, I'll buy your matte valances.
Hold up well. Just scuff up your oem ones before painting. We have an older video on doing this!
How many cans of paint did it take?
1 can will be enough.
Looks great. Is that a kdds rig?
Non kdss. The skid plate does fit the kdss model it just needs to be modified. If you need one and order through us we will modify it for you.
One can is good I have a taco bigger plate
Yes, please, precut for KDSS,
If not you, then, some company out of Canada, and that would be UnAmerican 🇺🇸 😂😂😂😂
We offer the KDSS mod on our website!
Yes you should offer a powder coating on skid plate
What do you think is a fair price to pay for a powder coated option?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!!!
