Black Emblem Overlays

Have a 2019 OR. After one winter the front and rear chrome emblems are stained from mag chloride. Tried various ways to clean them up with no luck. Colorado roads are no friend to chrome. Wondering if the forum thought that Toyota's Part Number: PT9488918002 (black emblem overlays) would be a good solution to covering the chrome emblems stained by mag chloride? Thinking the emblem material would be more resistant and clean up easier, but would appreciate any thoughts / advice from those who know.

Thanks.

 

Should work great, I have had overlays on mine for almost 3 years now.

 

Had them on my 2011 for 4 years now, still look great. Been on my 2018 for about 8 months now, still look great

 

Yup. Blacken those bastards out...

 

For those with the overlays. Are they durable enough to be powder coated?

 

I bought the overlays and need to install them. However I’m thinking of painting the TRD red to match the front seats. I’ve seen others do this. Wondering what they used to paint the overlays?

 

they are plastic so no

 

You can powder coat plastic, but I'm guessing the overlays are to thin a material and will melt when cooking.

 

Thanks everyone. Black emblem overlays it is!

 

I guess with a UV cured type powder coating they can be but these overlays are pretty thin.

 

I painted mine, and wrote a DIY article about it:

Great write up! Thanks.

 

Good info there. I'll be using these tips soon!

 

I love mine. I live in Utah. Really cold winters and hot summers. 3.5 years living strong. This is where I got mine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F42IS20/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8
