Why does he look like hes about to bust out laughing at any second 😂

[@allenpigwell]

monkeyman7 super baked?

[@b3nnyb3nny]

😂😂😂💀💀

[@PureMocro]

Hahahahahaha same thought. Good video though. Gonna plastidip my motorbike front fender and sidecovers

[@devisissy1]

Dude is high af.

[@goaheadskinit]

Nervous AF lol

[@idonthurtfeelingsimurderth8972]

Came out really clean. Was thinking of doing my Z71 Tahoe. Awesome work dude

[@brohartt1187]

Thanks for the vid and tips! I just did this today with my 4Runner, turned out great! I’m just amazed how easy you made that paper laying work. I did like 100 pieces of tape and it kept peeling off

[@Twilight_Charger]

That came out awesome, nice job!

[@tndeere]

Great job. I have the exact same 4runner as you Think I'll do my bumbers this weekend looks great

[@mariananavas7994]

Awesome. Doing it with my 2010 Ford edge.

[@7.24]

going to be doing this weekend, i'm excited!

[@9to5Escape]

Good luck!

[@IPinoyBoy69]

Great vid, did you put your bottle of plasti dip in some warm water before you used it ? I’ve read some people do that before using it.

[@laffilmfest3759]

Turned out nice!

[@ThatRed4Runner]

Excellent job!

[@goaheadskinit]

Nice. Thanks for this.

[@crib9243]

😂thanks looks great I’ve definitely gotta do mine as well thanks 👍

[@TerryGrayTX]

Great solution for someone buying a front bumper during corona-time. While I am waiting the 12 weeks for the bumper to be built & shipped, I'll do this! The black factory/OEM retails for $270, so even if you good discount, it is still pretty pricey. No-brainer for my situation. Thanks for the video!

[@wesleytrautwein3727]

Where does the black factory oem retail at? I couldn’t find any

[@stillon360]

Did a whole bumper cover the other day but i will say if its really hot in the garage I recommend spraying very close with the rattle can like 3 inches away or so at maximum. I had the stuff dry far to quickly and the surface ended up being very rough with more distance. Ill probably have another go at it given its so easy to peel off

[@4runnerdallas432]

Same happened to me, I did it way to far not trying to get blotch spots, ended up coming out rough, but I’m too lazy

[@kevinjones7606]

Looks great! I can't believe he painted with the vehicle right next to it. I guess I would be overly cautious & also would have masked off a whole lot more on my 4Runner when I do it

[@impactproformance]

Its plasti dip... 🤣

[@9to5Escape]

It peels off. The plasti dip is pretty heavy so there aren't too many particles in the air.

[@jpeazyy1397]

Thank you Sr. I have the same color n was about to pay to get it done. Glad you did this bro!!

[@planchik]

did you score the paint around the bumper with a knife or something? how does it peel off exactly at the border of the bumper like that? also, any reason you didn't tape around precisely around the edges of the bumper?

[@purplefishgirl3719]

Great look to your truck now 😎 I’m going to do my front bumper. how is it holding up to rocks and bugs thanks

[@9to5Escape]

It's holding up really well! Currently no chips after a couple trips

[@ORTHMANCUSTOMS]

I'm waiting for my wife to bust in any second and yell..."are you seriously painting something out here? I smell paint in the house so knock it off!" lol God love her. Awesome job though man. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@TN_HondaDad]

ORTHMANCUSTOMS haha, did my grill on my 04 4Runner and she is like why does it smell paint out here and why are you painting it black? Lol they don’t get it.

[@ConservativeVet84]

Sounds like my house

Thanks! Have fun plasti dipping!

[@PEDROv0311]

GREAT JOB!!! I will do my T4R OR this weekend! Question - did you plasti dip the rear “4Runner and TM logo” too?

[@9to5Escape]

Those are black emblem overlays I purchased on eBay. Basically just place over the top of your existing emblems. Super easy! 👌

[@DevonChristopherAdams]

@@9to5Escape got a link to the overlays?

[@mhorne934]

Starwars -- storm trooper...nice job...

[@honeybear8485]

I'm going to be doing mine but I'm going to send them first to get it even better stick .. cuz if deck plastic sheet peels off too quickly. I'll be alright I'll be all ready for paint..💪😊

[@TimmyG2011]

You lost me at "EX-scape." 🙃 Jokes aside, the 4runner looks good. 👍 Good job. 👌

[@bryanjackson405]

For those of you with 4Runners you can just buy the black accent (front & rear) for the TRD Pro. They come in black and fit the TRD Off Road. Yes, I know is more expensive than Plasti Dip. But less of a pain and time.

[@49thrc]

Bryan Jackson I hear it’s a pain to get the valences off without removing the bumpers.

[@49thrc]

Good stuff, about to do mine this weekend. How did you tape off the hitch?

[@9to5Escape]

Covered it with a plastic bag and taped it down.

[@Mxl100]

I love plasti dip. I dipped my badges on both my Nissan Titan and Honda Civic. Next, I'll plasti dip the lip and side skirts on my Civic

[@j_can3579]

he said "give it a good rub" and had a huge smirk after lol

[@coib5993]

Hey bro nice video! I was planning to do the same thing plasti dip on my 4runner but my question is does toyota void warranty if you do plasti dip on grill? Do you cver your radiator before doing that? Thank you

[@9to5Escape]

Shouldn't void the warranty. It peels right off if the dealer doesn't like it. We covered everything we didn't want painted with paper and tape.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Awesome.

[@gschu39]

Did you apply any sort of clear coat over it so that it’s easier to clean. It seems the rubber texture would be had to clean and collect dirt. When you wash does it come out looking new? Any issues fading or chipping?

[@9to5Escape]

No clear coat. It's simple to do and easy to redo so there was no incentive to make it long lasting. Some small rock chips, but nothing too bad that would make me want to redo it.

[@matthewvernon8876]

Small rock chips…can you hit it with a quick spray to cover them?

[@kevinolsen6441]

Looking to try this just on my 2004 f250 lariat. The plastic valance and lower valance of my chrome steel bumper. The bumper will stay chrome and the 20 year old plastic valances have gone gray and stick out like a sore thumb next to my black plastic grille and mirrors and whatnot. Afraid of the tape and spray and whatnot so I may just uninstall the valances/bumpers and reinstall. Great video, thanks!

[@9to5Escape]

It peels off so no reason to be afraid if it doesn't turn out as desired. Good luck!

[@RCGJR_]

Was this the sr5 premium trim? Edit: btw that little gadget you use with the can of plasti dip, what is it called? Or does it come with it. Thanks

[@9to5Escape]

TRD Off Road Premium. Spray nozzle sold separately.

[@Anthony-hm6df]

I did this to my white maxima, blacked out the front grille and badging 4yrs. Ago still looks like I did it yesterday

[@Tylerfry103]

How does it handle with being washed?

[@noevqz007]

How is the Plasti holding up on the Valace 3 years later?

[@DanUmstattd]

Curious how well this has held up over a few years. Thinking of wrapping myself, but this would be so much easier.

We have an update video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6DCeIWQYtl7eKs

[@StraightUpTech]

@@9to5Escape thank you!!!

[@jasonbiggs13]

Thanks for the video. How does it make a straight edge when you pull off the tape?

[@ThatRed4Runner]

Yeah, that's what I wanna know!

[@couri1033]

You'll be surprised how clean it is. Even when doing the emblems and badges it's 100% precise when peeled correctly.

[@marcoh.3293]

Paint has to be still wet to peel the tape. Don't let it dry.

[@9to5Escape]

Put it on thick, let it dry, and peel it right at the edge of the gap.

[@jamesstewart140]

@@9to5Escape how does it peel off in a straight line? did you score it first?

[@DevonChristopherAdams]

Amazing. I wanna do this. Mine got a scraped up from being too close to the garage door. I’m in Gilbert. You in east valley or west? Really enjoying your videos.

The few of us are spread across the valley.

is it the same process with a chrome bumper

[@miguelgarcia-ck9br]

Nice video I’m just curious taking the vehicle for a car wash would the black coat come off with direct spray to the bumber

[@9to5Escape]

If you have enough coats it should hold up. I wouldn't recommend a high pressure washer close up, it might start peeling.

[@miguelgarcia-ck9br]

Thankyou

Plasti dip life

[@Sarikayacomesin]

Could this cover a deep scratch? The plastidip

[@pfnichols]

Why didn’t you do the blue tape right along the line? It looks like it peeled off perfectly though, did you do something to that part?

[@7captaintwosheds7]

There's a small gap between the valance and the bumper, so the plasti dip won't connect. However, you want to get a solid amount of dip on the bumper so you can peel it off easily. It's just easier to get looking clean and to peel off that way, at least in my experience.

[@-br1oj]

How many days it last??? Before rain?

[@lifoeyzhou9175]

nice demostration. How does it last?

[@9to5Escape]

Still holding strong to this day!

[@chrisclark7735]

now, almost a year later, how do they look? how did both bumpers fare through rock chips, weather, and washing?

[@9to5Escape]

Holding up better than I thought. Front bumper has a small chip in it. Back is totally fine.

[@adrianfromthecastle]

How well does this match the texture and color of the trd pro grill?

[@9to5Escape]

We actually installed the TRD Pro grill a couple weeks ago. It matches the grill pretty well. There's slight texture to the plasti dip but only really noticeable up close.

[@gamerdad1759]

do you think this stuff would hold up on my back bumper lip with my dog jumping in and out all the time? or would it just peel off?

[@9to5Escape]

It should hold up with your dog jumping on it. I suggest applying a generous amount and allow plenty of time to cure onto the bumper lip before use.

[@zumezoom9593]

how long in-between layers do you wait to repaint? and how long does it take for it completely dry?

[@9to5Escape]

Waited about 5 minutes in between layers and I would say it takes up to 30 minutes to completely dry.

[@zumezoom9593]

@@9to5Escape noice! thx bro

[@dennismazurek961]

Why did you leave a little space around the edges

[@CumTea]

That bumper is just a cover, would it be easier to remove it and then dip it?

[@9to5Escape]

It's tough taking off the covers. Taping off and dip while on the vehicle is easier imo.

[@004mdg]

Can you paint it instead with a quality spray paint with the same type of prep?

[@9to5Escape]

It'll probably be easier using plasti dip for this type of application.

[@jn1096]

I need to buy it in the states lol $6 bucks a can there, $25.00 cdn in canada

[@impactproformance]

Pricy paying for everyone's Healthcare huh? 🤣

[@Winterfell1066]

Why didn't you just mask down the valence itself? Why have to peel off the coating afterwards? I don't get it.

[@finmason8339]

Damn daddy you gave that bumper a nice good rub down. And that can a good ol shakedown

[@gdan8259]

Thanks for the video. Question, how durable do you think this will be? Have you power washed this yet? Curious about durability.

It's very durable but I haven't tried power washing it yet.

@@9to5Escape well.....there's no need to experiment.......you can wash it gently!!!!!!great job though dude!!!!!

[@RCGJR_]

Can i still do this on an sr5? They don’t come with the chrome part

[@9to5Escape]

You can do it with the SR5 model. You'll just want to tape your lines of where you want the plasti dip to be.

[@jn1096]

How has it held up? Wanting to do the ugly chrome on my 2018 eco diesel

[@9to5Escape]

It's holding up pretty well. Couple chips but all is good.

[@jn1096]

Great thanks for the response. I've always considered doing Plasti dip but wasn't too sure how it would hold up. Bought my new eco diesel and it came with black rims, black mirrors, black running boards then they left the ugly chrome bumpers. They want close to $1000 per bumper just to wrap them here where I live so it's great people like you are showing what can be done. Cheers.

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

how long does plasti dip last? does it come off with rain water or when I wash the car?

[@9to5Escape]

It has been a bit over 2 years and this is still going strong. It has been through trips, car washes, off roads trails, rain, and snow and there's no signs of letting up.

[@andrewau2736]

Would it come off at a crew carwash?

[@9to5Escape]

It's been through pressure washes and car washes and still holds up.

[@claybirdyshaw5737]

Looks great. It is unfortunate that so many car manufacturers put these silver accent pieces on the bumpers. They do it just to make you want to move up to the higher trim because litterally nobody likes it. I have these same things on my Blazer and it makes it look much worse. They weren't there I would have the full monochrome black and white look. I am considering plastidipping them, but they are textured plastic, so I don't know how they would hold up or if I could get it off later if I wanted.

[@9to5Escape]

Silver or chrome! Can't stand it. Plastidip should peel off anything. Worst case, try a small test spot.

[@andrewward4246]

How did this hold up? Did it last or did it chip and peel?

[@9to5Escape]

Still holding up well. No peeling at all.

[@mcham0846]

I dont like when people do a continuous spray when they reach the ends of whatever they're spraying lol

is the bumper made of polyethelene plastic ? i have a dirtbike and want to plastidip the panels ?

[@9to5Escape]

The bumper cover is definitely plastic. Can't say if it's PE though. You can always try a small spot and peel it off to test it.

9to5 Escape whats your advice for plastidip?

[@parkyourthoughts5741]

Aloha, Great video, may I ask why you didn’t sand the bumper first? Mahalo

[@Ultimra]

I think usually people want it to be temporary and to keep the original bumper intact, as you can peel off dried plasti-dip after the fact.

[@narutokidz]

Its not necessary for plasti dip. Plasti Dip is adheres great to any part of the car as long as its washed properly.

[@9to5Escape]

The plasti dip sticks well to a clean surface. It's also removable, so we didn't want to make anything too permanent.

[@QPSbatch92]

How can you make a straight line? Any technique pls?

[@devisissy1]

It's plasti dip. Just peel.

[@9to5Escape]

Put the coats on thick, let it dry, and the dip will peel well at any joints.

[@cali4niaproject559]

I've been waiting for hair loss commercials 🧑‍🦲

[@jinahn93]

Two things I’d do differently: (1) Invest in a high quality respirator, especially if you’re going to paint indoors. You’ll be surprised as to the amount of toxin the paint releases. (2) Spray the paint on a practice sheet to clear any blockage. The dip tends to block the nozzle when dried.

[@BeNice524]

How long did you wait between coats?

[@9to5Escape]

It depends on the weather but 10-20 minutes or until it doesn't look wet anymore. You're just trying to avoid drips and runs.

That piece comes off the bumper pretty easily though... the plastidip will last much longer If the coats go around the edge instead of being ripped off at the edge like what happens when you paint the part on the car.

[@cjlee2945]

why do u need to leave gap when taping?

[@9to5Escape]

Leaving a gap allows you to paint a border around your paint area that you can easily peel off at the end to create a clean cut. Be sure to apply a thick coat to the gap.

[@timgainnes5534]

Surprised that you overspray past the desired edges and are able to peel them back so clean. I don't understand that.

[@9to5Escape]

If there is a gap, the plasti dip peels well (especially when you put it on thick).

[@robertoleksa5817]

Anyone who tries this it’s impossible to make a clear line unless your bumper or inset is a separate piece. Taping doesn’t work
