Quicksand Vinyl Thoughts

Alright gentlemen just a heads up this thread will be a little pic heavy. I'm currently in the process of deleting the chrome off of my quicksand tundra and I'm down to the grille and bulge section. One option was buying a paint matched assembly and bulge, but I cant see paying $600-$800 for plastic. However, I thought about wrapping the items and came across a company out of Florida (not colorlabs) that has a color that almost a dead on match. So you guys tell me how well does this match with the rest of the truck and should I pull the trigger and try to wrap it. I put three sample pieces on the truck (bulge, Lower grille, and end cap) to see how well it looked

 

Looks pretty close!

 

Do it, it looks pretty good , imho

 

Ended up spraying mine

yours looks good tho

 

The color is spot on. It’s just a difference is sheen it looks like.

 

I think black would be better but anything better than chrome

 

what did you spray it with? I need to do my bumper wings.

 

Close BUT not exact. Same thing with painting the parts. This color SUCKS to match. We got my fender flares as close as possible but it’s still not 100% match. Color changes shades so when you think you have it dead on. U see it in the shade and it’s off. Doesn’t look bad but I have heard that color match vinyl isn’t cheap.

 

Hood bulge, it looks lighter, surround, it looks darker & bumper looks like a good match! My OCD would never get over the differences that I see.

 

What's the name of the company? It looks pretty good to me.

I’d love to hear about you technique for wrapping the hood bulge . Please take pics for us here.

 

I’ve never wrapped before so the technique I go with will be a wing and a prayer and hope for the best. But I will keep you all updated on how it goes.

 

I tried to wrap the hood bulge on the fj. Epic fail. Got the hood done no problem so I was feeling it but no dice for me.

 

Bringing up a dead thread here, I’d like to know the outcome of your wrap discussion? I was quoted $800 at my local wrap shop to do a chrome delete, and that’s not including the grille… I found the wrap on APA, the one they say is a quicksand match is called “gloss sandstorm” it’s pretty affordable, $40 for a 5’x3’ section. Plus $40 more to ship…

Anybody else have any experience with wrapping their chrome?
