I have a 2010 Platinum. Loving the look, but it's a black truck, and I want it to be black-black. Chrome isn't really my thing. Is there a kit available to replace every chrome piece on the truck and swap in a black painted replacement?

Any luck? I’ve started to swap in parts and also use plasti dip to remove the chrome.

Well, I have done some intensive research and found that I will need to swap in SR5 Sport components. The grille and the license plate molding are the big items. Then went to eBay and considering swapping the mirrors for tow mirrors which are painted gloss black. The last things i would need to worry about dipping are the pillar "Platinum" moldings and the rear Toyota badge.

So far I did door handles and mirrors, and deleted chrome off the rear badge. Emblems and grille next and yeah I need to do the wheels. Are your wheels just painted or new wheels?

For mirrors you can just buy mirror covers off Amazon or eBay - the chrome part snaps off and you just throw on a black piece.

They are brand new wheels. I got a good deal on them. Nice shiny powdercoated black goodness. I knew about the black covers for the mirrors, but I am buying a boat and towing mirrors are going to be very helpful.

An update without pictures for now, but I have swapped out the door handles and mirror covers. It already makes me happier from a side view look. I just got my grille and rear license plate trim delivered today. I just need to coax that back piece off without breaking something, and then I will post pics. A couple of the little trim pieces will be left in the end to replace, and then it will be my black beauty. Stay tuned.
