1958 fog light cover color matching wrap?

[jcdeng]

Any fellow 1958 owners thought about wrapping the fog light cover on the front bumper so it matches the rest of the body? I mean it should be much cheaper than painting it with all the pre work painting requires.

Trying to see if anyone has done it and found the perfect color matching wrap, black is easy but meteor shower and white is gonna be a bit harder to match?

I called a vehicle wrap company and they confirmed that the plastic can not be wrapped. They said the plastic is too rough and the material will not stick.

awww crap, no wonder. I thought that it was odd there is not much discussion about wrapping the black plastic cover which seems so easily done, and there is only 3 colors needed.

Definitely ask around for a second opinion. I was hoping it would work as well.

I was thinking if I use some automotive spray paint can and spray some clear coat on it (covering the surround area of course), and then will the wrap stick?

I have a friend with a detail shop and wrap experience, will bring my car to him for front window tint, will ask him then.

Since I have an Ice Cap, I may try white plasti-dip. If things go south, should be an easy fix.

let us know how it goes, and if the colors match (I know white is white but with cars there can be different shades of white lol).

oh wow, I always thought the covers were part of the front bumper (not detachable), in this case it will be much easier.

Update: spoke to my detailer guy, he said the same thing, surface is too rough and the wrap wouldn't stick to it for very long. Best way is just to paint it.

Painted front trim replacement pieces are already showing up on ebay. They found me, from searching accessories. I haven't seen the piece you're referring to but I didn't look either.

Color was close and I left a gap of black plastic so a direct comparison wasn't possible.

The issue I had was removing the mask. Even using a razor, the edge looked jagged in some places. I ended up cleaning everything off. It would work if I could get straight edges.

Awesome. I would buy a set if they ever offer these in meteor shower / brown sugar metallic. I’m assuming they are not OEM, as Toyota does not appear to paint these from the factory.

I messaged the seller - it looks like they do have my colour. So who is going to take the plunge? They look to be of fairly high quality and the paint match looks good. I know the 250 is also manufactured in China, so maybe they were able to get their hands on one of their moulds.
