Black out side mirrors?

Would blackout side mirrors look cool or am I going overboard with the plastdipping?

 

Doesn’t the Venture edition come with blacked out mirrors? I think they look ok.

 

I think they'd look alright gloss black, but flat plastidip black would make it look like a fleet vehicle.

 

Humm yea didnt think of that

 

these are caps

They look alright.

 

Ah cool! You bought the glossy caps? And I see you did the same thing with the door handles?

 

Venture comes with those pieces painted gloss black from the factory.

 

Oh thats a Venture, got it!

 

Funny what was old is new again. Years ago color matched handles and mirror caps were upgrades / high end models
Looks great on the 4runner. Old school but classy. Stands out as all other are now color matched

 

Haha

Haha yea I remember the black bumpers

 

Plasti-Dipped:
Cladding
Front/rear bumpers
Roof Rack
Door handles
Hood Scoop (gold)
Logo's and emblems (gold)
Front grille
Rear Badge

I say go ahead, I considered doing the mirrors too, I might one day.
And, I used Shadow Black over their standard black.
It gives it a deeper and more satin appearance which is what I wanted.
Compared to just using the regular black.
Their Hyper-Dip out of the can is the same color as the shadow black over regular black.

I like both looks actually, and can go back to the original anytime, which I like about the Plasti-Dip.

 

That looks 100% better. Love the gold logo too.

 

Oh just ordered the PlastiDip glossifier as that brand doesnt have a satin-like black. Do you think the final look will be the same?

 

No, glossifier is a different thing, it is exactly what it sounds like, a glossifier.
The gold hood scoop and gold rear Toyota emblem I used glossifier on, but nothing else, not any black items.

I mean, if you're looking for glossy, it'll do it.
But the Shadow Black over regular black is far more satin, which is what I was going for.

But, it's not 'super glossy' either.
Here is a close-up of the hood scoop and it doesn't come off as 'super-gloss' IMO.

 

Has anyone tried hyperdip?. I was thinking about trying that on the door handles.

 

LOL!! And I remember the chrome bumpers - before the black. LOL

 

When in doubt, black it out. Satin black on everything.

 

It's your truck, do whatever makes you happy.

Personally I like the color match mirrors. Doesn't look as cheap.

But I also like the stock chrome badging on my white truck.

I think the black badging works best with the darker colors.

 

Attitude black mirror covers from Toyota

 

The 2010-2013 Trails had matte black mirrors, door handles, fender flares, roof rack, and bumper trim.
