Outstanding Video! Just got new RAV4 Prime XSE in Supersonic Red, and will be performing a number of enhancements, including . Wheel change following in your very “kewl” process steps. Had considered but rejected the emblem overlay kit, as I don’t care for the “bulk” look of the overlays or the filled in & covered over center openings within the individual letters.
I was seriosuly considering getting the blackout kit from Toyota for my 22 white XLE. Glad I found your vid. Will be doing this project this weekend! How long will the plastidip last? Thinking about the effects of car washes. Thanks bro!
My RED plastidip still looks like since day one, and it has been five years since I did it. I also sprayed 3 coats of CLEAR plastidip for better durability and prevent fading. RED pigment is one of the worse color when it comes to fading. They were applied on the mudguards, rear bumper fins, and the tweeter frame. ua-cam.com/video/J4MZ_MOvpzA/v-deo.html
Well that's what I plan on doing I actually purchased original brand new emblems and I'm going to spray adhesion promoter and then spray paint them with SEM brand satin black
@@Americafirst-i8q Just be sure that's the right color. I sprayed my Toyota "clown nose" emblem w/ dusk black or some such and it looks bad. Gloss black might be the thing...
Well when he uses the toothpick he kind of cuts it away from the emblem besides the paint still has some wax on it so therefore it removes a lot easier than from the emblem
Non related question , I have a 2021 Rav4 L, I'd like to put bigger tires any idea how big I can go, with scrapes on turns, etc? Also a good place to get racks and awnings?? Thanks
depends what size rims u have. if 17’s then 245/65/17. 16’s then 245/70/16. im not sure what the biggest tire size u can run if u have the 19’s. i have rhino rack cross bars. if u want a full rack go with prinsu or victory 4x4. kind of a pain installing though for u will need to remove the headliner etc. lots of good awnings out there but most only will mount to full roof racks
I just bought one RAV4 LE black emblem overlays with $70 cost. Now I would return that product and follow your step.
Thanks!
I own a rav 4 - best car Ive ever bought such a lovely drive
the rear toyota emblem looked pretty dope with the insides dipped too. nice work.
I’m having a little difficulty understanding why the plastidip on the emblem doesn’t come off when you peel the excess.

thanks boss!
With weather and washings…How long does the paint last ?Will it need to be reapplied in the future?
Very satisfying video! Definitely sound like ASMR. Thank you for saving me $80 for my Mazda
anytime boss! 🤙🏽
Bro, that is amazing. I had no clue this stuff existed.
AWD XLE - smart choice.

I plasti dipped my nissan and it lasted about 3 years before it started peeling but I didn't prep it with alcohol and didn't go thick enough.
Good job Yota. Another upgrade thought for MY Rave4.

It's awesome. Any suggestioin for the front logo?
How's it held up after a year? I thought of lightly sanding the plastic and using matte black Rustolium, but the plastidip looks good.

What prevents the plastic dip from coming off the emblem itself as you remove the excess?
im not sure to be honest but i’m thinking it’s two different type of surfaces. to this day it’s still holding up good!

How does it hold up to the elements?
Thanks for this video!
How does this hold up overtime? & what about car washes?
holds up well for me. i hand wash my cars so i don’t really know how car washes do.
Can you use the plasti dip to black out the chrome trim around the windows? I saw a guy do it in vinyl but this looks easier.
not sure actually. maybe more room for error since it’s a longer piece to paint.
Bro how'd you do it so clean? The emblem keeps having air bubbled and stuff for me
We have the same rav4.. Where did you get your tires from?? and did you lift it to put the tires on? or did you just add the tires?
simpletire.com and the tires fit before my lift. i also got a video of that too!
@@yotar4ven898 I’ll check it out. Thanks.!
I got the 2019 XLE premium got the black emblem so I don’t have to does
Will it hold up to a car wash?
yes it will
Nice tutorial, I notice yours came out matte, do the plastic dip sprays come in gloss too?
i know they have a clear coat but not just a gloss black can
It’s called hyper dip I believe. Not super glossy, but a little shiny
Well done bro. Thanks!
Do you have link to where you got the spray?
i don’t. u can find plasti dip anywhere. check ur local auto shop or home depot.
I used the black overlays on my RAV4 and they definitely were not plastic, costing me approximately $60 due to special discount.
How is it holding up so far
still same. if it starts to peel i’ll just restart and add more layers
Have you tried to do the same to front emblem?
no i haven’t. there’s a sensor behind it and i don’t wanna mess it up
Still holding up after harsh weather?
oh ya
Does this process survive a car wash?
it does, i'm impressed how long it last
Thanks Handsome!!!
Nice video! I’m going to try this on my Prius ☺️ty!!
go for it! if u mess up u can just peel it off and try again. 🤙🏽
Does this stuff last long? Thinking of doing it to my Rav4 Hybrid Cruiser
yes it does. no problems yet
About 2 years in normal conditions.
Looks sick thanks for the vid. Can tell from your first word where you’re from 😂
😂 yessuh
Nice video thanks
How do they hold up if you go through car washes with brushes?
i have no idea, never tried going through a wash with brushes. i either go brushless car washes or hand wash it my self.
If you apply 2-3 coats, it will last for years. I did it on my Subaru Forester XT and to this day it looks great (5 years now)
What happens when you pressure wash your car are they still holding?
yes they are still holding strong
TY
🤝👍
I’d rather spend the $80 for a professional look than have to re-do this cheaper looking option every two years
👍
E bay $40
I saved $80 by spending $30 in materials and five hours of my life. You should meet my wife that saves hundreds every weekend spending thousands.
