- Using the Shadow Black HyperDip, a bit different than PlastiDip, I transformed the look of the 4Runner.
I couldn't be happier with the way it came out; Wheels and emblems

UPDATE: How has it held up 1 year later? Here is the new video update:
czcams.com/video/_RprxIX2NX0/video.html&ab_channel=AZOverland
Thanks for the being thorough without dragging it out. Was on the fence about doing this myself, but your video helped convince me. Very much appreciated
I appreciate the feedback. Good luck with project, hope all goes smoothly!
Awesome video, used your steps to coat my new rims for my Jeep. I appreciate the quality of the resolution, the focus on the job, the clarity in your tips and tricks, and most importantly watching how you applied the coating to achieve wonderful results. Keep making videos like this, cheers🤙
Thank you!. I appreciate the feedback
Love how the wheels came out... Great job
Thank you so much!
$125 and some good sweat equity! I liked how it looked before, and I love it now! Great info.
It's a night and day difference. Well worth the time put in!
Great make over, love the video and the result. How are they holding up so far? Any idea how long they would last in a wet place like Houston? We got lot of rain here. Also, do you have to be careful when washing the car or they just cure and end up being like paint? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Water should not be an issue. I was concerned about the water jets through the carwash as I don't have time to hand wash this vehicle. I did a video of the 1st time (see below). I also ran it though the Costco car wash which has more powerful jets nd so far no issues.
czcams.com/video/5QWPJvWGTk4/video.html&ab_channel=AZOverland
You made it look so so easy! Lol. Looks awesome sir, very nice job!
Thank you. I have a background in paint and bodywork so overall not too difficult. thanks for watching!
Awesome job ! I just bought a 2022 TRD Premium, bright silver and would love to black out the rims and insignias.
It definitely takes it to the next level. Silver and black are sweet together.
Looks great! Thanks for the tips, might try a bronze dip on my army green 4runner. Hopefully it does well with the dry heat of Arizona, I'm in central California, very dry and hot as well.
It's just starting to get hot here so we shall see. Still looks great though
I bought the kit and it arrived yesterday. I hope to do my Porsche Cayenne (2013) today. I will follow your steps and get it done. I will do the 4 wheels and the Porsche Cayenne on the back. I will also do the chrome window trim around the front and back windows. I hope mine comes out as nice as yours. Great video and it was very helpful. Thank You.
I'm happy to hear that, thank you!. Reach out if you have any questions. Take your time with the prep, that is most important.
I have a black sr5 and I never knew this was possible! I’m so tempted to try it but scared I’ll mess it up. I’ve never done anything like this before. Your results are amazing!
Thanks Brittney. Here's a suggestion if you want to attempt it. Don't go all in right away. Take 1 wheel and just focus on that. Take you time with it and learn what is working and what isn't in regards to spray angles and how fast/slow you are spraying. The worst case is you mess up 1 wheel. Let it dry and peel it off and start fresh. Just make sure you put enough material on so it peels off. If it is too thin it won't peel correctly. If it looks good, move on to the next wheel on a different day. You will get progressively better. Most importantly, don't try to stray from the correct prep, wetness, and # of coats.
u wont mess it up. its just plastic u can easily take it off.
I have an S5 and did the wheels w matt black. Looks awesome.
Go for it
Been thinking about doing this to my blk '12 tacoma, yours looks great 👌🏽
Looks awesome! Great job. I just got my Hyperdip delivery and am planning to do the same to my 2018 BMW X1 ASAP. Hope it comes out as clean as yours did.
Awesome! Just take you time with the prep. Let me know if you have any questions along the way and Good Luck.
Super informative video! I have an SR5 on the way and I’m already planning this out as my first “upgrade”
Thank you!
Absolutely! Loving my SR5 still.
Wow...very nice black out!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Dude, you did a fabulous job. I am very impressed.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Great job. Looks good. Good to know it will stand up to a carwash. Will you keep us posted how well it holds up when you have to change your tires?
Yes sir, I will
Looks really good. You’ve inspired me. Once I get back from my work road trip this project will be done to my truck.
Thanks! No regrets here, still looks great
Nice work, thanks for sharing
Certainly
Nice Job. The back emblem came out especially nice. My polished aluminum wheels on my F-150 Platinum have started to pit and was looking to do the Hyperdip also. Just trying to decide between their Glossy Metallic Grey and Glossy Metallic Black (the truck is Metallic Black). Thanks.
Thank you. I would lean towards the Metallic Black, but that is just my opinion. I'm not sure how the Gray shows but the Black isn't a very deep black so i think it may go very well with your set up!
4 runner your own personal "night edition" excellent work......lol
Ha, Thank you
Great job. Looks good. Thinking about doing this to my rims on my TRD ORP. Where did you get the hyperdip from? Does it come as a kit with the dip release, pre dip spray and the pistol grip handle for spray can?
Thank you sir! I purchased the kit from Dipyourcar.com
The spray handle is an additional accessory.
Yes, the kit comes complete minus the spray handle
Love the rims. Think I might do these on my Ranger. Though if it does last a few years then not worth it IMO. Great video and great explanation of the steps.
It's definitely worth it for me even if only for a few years. I'm putting money into other areas of the 4Runner first while deciding what lift and tires I want. So this certainly gives me the look I want for now. I was not liking the silver
Great video. Looks a lot nicer than Plasti dip. I wonder how long this will last compared to plasti dip
We shall find out but I suspect as long or longer
Great results, well made instructional video. Let me ask, did you have any over spray issues on the body fenders from not masking them. I'm asking cause i want to hyperdip my 06 Tundra wheels and i like that you didnt have to take extra masking steps.
I did not get any overspray on the body from the wheels. i did get a little overspray from the masking of the rear emblem. I should have put another layer around on that, but it was easy cleanup. It shouldn't be an issue doing the wheels on a Tundra as long as it's not windy. On trucks, with the wider sidewall and distance between the wheels and body panels, it shouldn't require masking. On some cars where that distance is less, it may require masking.
Great video and info.
Just curious on how it holds up to rock chips?
I have to travel on gravel a few times a week.
I have not had any damage from rocks. I have been traveling on an Arizona freeway about 12 hrs per week , many times behind work trucks and have been off-road 4 times since I sprayed it. I just washed the 4Runner today and went out to look after your asked this question. I have no rock chips. The only damage is from a branch that scraped my lower valence and took a little material with it. Good news is, the paint below that scrape is in good condition so it protected it pretty well.
Love your intro music choice haha
Thank you sir!
Looks awesome!!! I’m getting a new Mini Cooper S 2- door all black but I’m sure there are some things not black that I’ll need to do this to!! Thank you for this video!!!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great job!
I appreciate that
Thank you gr8 job I will now purchase looks awesome
Cool. Take your time with the prep!
Thanks so much for this video. I’m so going to attempt it this weekend. Wondering if the desert heat will wreak havoc if I do this in hot weather…..
It is better to do it in the heat then freezing temps. The material will dry faster so experiment with spray times as far as going moderate vs light. You definitely don't want to get runs buy going too heavy but also don't want to go too light and have a rough textured finish. Also, try to avoid doing it in direct sunlight. Start early. Good luck!
Looks awesome. Want to do that to my 4runner supposed to get in another month or so. What do you think durability will be? Wonder what lug nuts will look like after taking off and putting back on.
I'm hoping to get at least a ear out of the coating, but we shall see if the Arizona sun has different plans. I might have to do a video of removing the lugs. Not sure what the result will be but i will have a back up set of black lugs ready
@@AZOverland2017 I was wondering the same thing about the lugs for tire rotations/alignments....
@@stevenjunk1268 I did a video on this also. See below

Job well done.
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Man that looks ten times better!! I was thinking of ding my 12 tundra. Its platinum package black with all the chrome. Want to murder it out.
Thank you! That would look mean blacked out. I thought I like the 4Runner when I first got it but this definitely made me appreciate it more.
Looks great. I just wish I was brave enough to do this.
Don't be scared, do it in small steps and take your time
wow looking good 👍
Thank you!
Looks great! This should save like $200 on a gray delete on my C43! We'll see how this hyperdip holds up being on the diffuser areas of my car.
Thanks. Let me know how it does being that close to the exhaust. As long as its not touching I bet it does pretty well.
Nice job. 👍
Thank you!
Just convinced me! Looks really nice! I always see hyperdip applied with the wheels on the vehicle. No issues removing the wheels after to rotate?
I get this question a lot, specifically about if this product gets compromised on the lugs when taking the wheels off. I haven't rotated tires yet though I am about to do so. I will have to document if there is any damage. However, I will replace them with black lug nuts if there is. It is still worth the money to change the look the way I wanted. If you do decide to order feel free to use the link in the video description. It is an affiliate link though when I made this video I was not in communication with this company at all. Good Luck!
@@AZOverland2017, thanks again! I did use the link to buy, and got a first time discount as well. Beat Amazon by $20! I was thinking about removing the wheels to dip them, mostly because I tend to get runs when I paint!
@@CenCalBimat Great! 2 things. Spray cans cans are not ideal to spray when holding them horizontally. While it can be done you may get some spitting or the cans might not be used all the way. I understand about being concerned by runs and especially because this is fairly thin and can run quite easily. Make sure your 1st 2 coats are very light!
@@AZOverland2017 kind of forgot about that! Good reminder! My first dip experience wasn’t great, but I didn’t keep the van vertical!
Hey my fellow AZ. We actually have the exact trim mand color 4runner. I just got mine and considering doing the same thing. Thank you for the video! I also purchased some of your recommendations
That's Great Sheryl! If you end up doing it and are near the NW valley let me know. Maybe we do a video on it
NW valley isn't far at all. 15 to 20 mins drive. I'm actually going to focus first in figuring out installing a push and rocker buttons for hatch opener and also rear window from the inside(back end). For camping purposes. Let me know if you're planning to do it. Thanks
@@sherylh2567 Well, I didn't, but now I'm intrigued. Do you have a link, I would like to read up more on this. Thank you

Clean job... 4Runner looks great. Only problem is when you go to have your tires rotated the lugs will get messed up.
Thank you! I did a video on just what you're talking about. Check it out here:

you transformed the shit outta that 4Runner yo
Thanks! You should see it now
Looks great! Have you rotated the tires yet?
I will be doing that soon. We shall see how the lugs hold up😁
Huge difference, for the better
Agreed
I was going to buy the trd wheels for my new 2021 4runner but this is a cheaper way to get it done.. I just bought the covers for the emblems should of did this dip instead 🤷🏽♂️
Looks great!! Next, take the dealership logo off on the back side. Use a heat gun and goo gone.
Thanks!
Looks good. For an added touch you can pull off those yota emblems on the center caps. Seen people paint those red🤷🏽
Good idea. I would do green though
Great job sir👍👍👍
Thank you!
Awesome explanation; as all your videos. How do you wash the rims? Has the paint held strong? PS: I recently bought the Pavoni air mattress 👊🏼
I appreciate it. I just did a video recently with the 1 year follow up. It has held up nicely. I hand wash the wheels for the most part. After drying I do another cleaning with a waterless wash and microfiber towel.
Have you slept on the Pavoni yet?

@@AZOverland2017 I was hoping this weekend, as we were heading to Hither Hills State Park near Montauk, but the rain spoiled the trip 😖. I will check out the video. Thanks again.
Good lord! What a difference! Looks great man. How’s it holding up a year later?
Thank you. It is doing quite well. I plan on doing a follow up video to show it again after 15 months. I'm actually surprised with how well it performed after the hell I put this 4Runner through off-road. Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Thank you!
Great vid
I appreciate that!
How many hyperdip bottle does it come when you ordered it? Does it come with the deep release and the predip spray?
The Wheel Kit comes with 5 cans. Yes, it comes with everything you need including the plastic when you get the Kit
Hi, did you plastidip the center caps? If so, did you put the stickers on the plastidip or before application? Thank you!
Center caps were prepped and sprayed with the wheels so they are dipped as they were and holding up just fine
Its Christopher Lee!!!
This is the second video I've watched with Hyper Dip and neither of y'all masked off the car. Are you not worried about overspray with this product? Thanks!
With the 4Runner, no need to mask around the wheels because of the size of the sidewalk and distance between the tire and fenders. With a car, I would mask a bit. Regarding the emblems, I did run some masking paper about a foot on all sides. For this, I would recommend running another layer (2') on all sides. Especially you are dealing with wind. Overall, my method worked out fine for my conditions. I also painted cars for a living for several years so I sort of knew the threshold of containing the over spray
Does one use the peel prep gel and pre-spray when using on emblems or only on wheels? I thought HyperDip didn’t require pre-spray like plastidip.
Only on the tires before spraying the wheels. you don't need to put it around the emblems, it will peel off the paint easily and break at the raised emblems as long as you build it up correctly.
Do you prefer this product over the original plastic dip? Wanting to do this to my wheels but not sure which route to go
Yes. It sprays a bit different but seems to lay down a bit smoother and doesn't require the gloss enhancer that Plastidip does if you want a bit of a sheen.
it look really nice, Any recommendations when you are going to wash the car?
I've run it through the automatic car washes numerous times with no issue. If I wash it home and I use a pressure washer I just don't put the stream right on the wheels or other hyper dipped parts directly?
I bought a used truck where the wheels were painted with something similar and it's chipping. Should i sand or just wipe off like you did?
If it's Hyperdip or Plastidip, and it was applied correctly, it will peel off. It's like a rubberized coating. If that doesn't work they have a product on their website that is supposed to help dissolve it
Will this stuff peel off where the adhesion promoter was applied if u want to remove it?
Yes, peels right off if applied to correct thickness. Could be a pain if applied too thin
We’re you able to do the emblems with the same 5 cans you got from the wheel kit? Or did you have to buy more?
Yes, same 5, they didn't take much
Great vedio! Is it easy to clean up? If I need to return the car.
If you spray it according to the directions, yes. Some people don't spray enough on and stop when they believe they have coverage. The issue is if it is applied too thin it will make removal difficult.
My alloy rims on my Mazdas are peeling and was wondering if it would work on it ? Nice vid
Thanks. If they are peeling you would need to get all of that coating completely off first before refinishing them or the top coat (Hyperdip or whatever you paint it with) will peel with whatever is under it.
Ok good to know.👍
I just hyper dipped my wheels but made a mistake when applying the dip, the bottom side of the outer ring on all 4 wheels didn’t get fully covered due to my spraying angle and you can notice some silver coming through. Any suggestions on fixing this? Do I simply go over the spot again? Any prep needs to be done?
Sorry to hear that. You definitely want to hit every angle possible, but you obviously know that now🙃 You should be able to re-prep and spray. Make sure the wheel is very clean and dry. Hit it with the Pre-Dip spray and microfiber towel and spray it again.
How did your touch up job turn out?
Curious if scuffing the rims with sand paper would help with adhesion? Thanks!
I don't really see a reason to scuff. I did this almost 2 years ago and do not have any issues with adhesion. As long as you prep correctly and do those 1st few tack coats, it will adhere to the substrate (wheels, emblems, etc). I also don't think scuffing would be beneficial anyway, being a former auto body tech who has painted cars for years. There is a distinct difference between automotive paint in which you scuff the substrate for adhesion and a product like this.
Right on, thanks alot man!!!
Thanks it really helped to do on my wheels.. can you share the link to the roof rack. I like it. Pls
I tried searching but no luck … pls share the link.
Thanks @AZOverland2017.
Thank you. Here is the information on the roof rack. I will try to find a link for you but there are so many options for it.
It is the Rhino Platform Rack. The size of the rack is 49"w x 60" L. I am using the Vortex SX crossbars that attach to the factory rails. I believe the part # is JA9141 which is the legs and the bars or the separate part #'s are SX100 for the 4 legs and VA126B for the 2 black crossbars. Please confirm all #'s

@@AZOverland2017 Thank you so much !
Like ,but what happens if the wheels get dirty or mud on them? Will it wash off or does it fu up
Yes, they clean up fine. You just need to care for them a little differently. No harsh chemicals and be gentle with scrubbing. I've been off roading, driven through water crossings, pressure washed, and taken it through auto car washes many times. If you haven't seen my 1 year later update video, it's here:
czcams.com/video/_RprxIX2NX0/video.html
My question is how long did this last before you needed to do it again?!
Seems to me it makes more sense to just buy the black overlays 🤷♂️ unless you’re using a color not offered.
Still have it on. Emblems are perfect. Wheels look very good with some delamination at the very outer rim
really nice
Thank you!
@@AZOverland2017 How is the paint holding up as time goes by?
@@tombox2759 Woe sorry for the delayed response, I somehow missed this question. Overall, excellent. I just noticed a small peel on the edge of tone of the wheels where the tire and rim meet. It is not bad but I suspect it could get worse over the next few months. With the grill area, I neglected to keep up with washing it after many road trips on the highway and it looks like bugs got imbedded in there. I haven't attempted to clean it yet but I am hoping I didn't wait too long to do this.
Looks really good, where do you buy the hyperdip?
www.dipyourcar.com/collections/wheel-kits-by-color
Thank you
@AZOverland2017. What size tire are those? Do you think it would be easier to take your tires off?
They are actually factory size but look a big bigger because they are All Terrains.
No, There is a lot to take into consideration. Are you able to get the vehicle completely off the ground to get all 4 wheels off; tools/equipment? Can you keep your vehicle on jack stands until the next day without wheels while it cures? You should spray them upright, not laying down, etc
How long does the dip last for until you have to touch up? Also how does it wear through car washes?
Check through my videos, they answer your questions. The last video I did a few days ago is an update on the condition after more than a year
Why did you do that? It looks GREAT as is!!! (not dissing it-- I understand wanting a different look-- just CURIOUS).... can't wait to see it.
I really dislike the look of chrome or aluminum wheels on certain vehicles, and this is certainly one of them. In my opinion is goes from a "soccer mom" look to looking sleeker and meaner. But yes, to each his own. I appreciate your comment!
@@AZOverland2017 I agree- but when you started talking about it they were BLACK.. I don't recall seeing any chrome.. maybe I missed something..
@@davidwayne9982 Yeah, I think you missed the whole beginning of the vid. 😀
What happens when you have to pull the lugnuts to change the tire? Do you repeat the entire process?
I did a video on this since I've been asked that question so often. See the link below
czcams.com/video/2UnvQ9pRUcE/video.htmlsi=lwP1iAFAQJDGWFC-
I guess removing the lug nuts to replace a flat tire will remove the dip on those nuts
I did a video on this also. See below
czcams.com/video/2UnvQ9pRUcE/video.htmlsi=Mv16QyUk63UReIla
Lucky you can respray it then doh.....😂
Did you get any overspray on the actual body of the 4Runner?
I did notice overspray on the back window, other than that, no. It was minimal and came off easily with a razor blade.
I was curious about overspray as well. My GX is white and I'm going with Piano Black. Probably taking the wheels off!
Is this durable when you bring your vehicle in for tire rotation, etc?
I did another video regarding removing the lug nuts. I do my own tire rotations, so I am very careful when handling the wheels. I'm not confident others would be as careful. So yes they could cause damage if not
What color did do you for your hyper dip? Shadow black, piano black?
Shadow Black
Question when u backed it up outside did u remove the plastic bags behind your wheels??
That's a great question! I actually forgot originally and backed it out a few feet before I realized. Thank goodness the plastic only touched the wheel in 1 spot on the edge. It was easily covered with the remaining coats
@@AZOverland2017 Thank u for responding and u did a great job
@@JAY-lu3cx I sincerely appreciate that sir
Any issues with the dip coming off when tires are rotated? That was my only hesitation.
Every wheel is different because of the type of lug nuts and the if they are recessed or not. I did a video on my removing the lugs which I will put below. As far as damage to the Hyper dipped wheel itself, there should be none if you handle it by the tires when moving and mounting them. If you grab by the actual wheel itself, yes, there could be damage to the coating. If the lugs get scuffed and show, you can repkace the lugs with black ones. I will be doing another video soon on the condition of the Hyperdip after 1+ years
czcams.com/video/2UnvQ9pRUcE/video.html&ab_channel=AZOverland
Will it come off of the lug nuts when they are removed?
I've been asked this so many times and it is a great question. I haven't taken a wheel off yet. But, I will get some black lugs if they don't hold form the impact gun.
Yay SR5 💪
Do you think I’d be able to use this hyper dip on chrome rims?
Possibly. From the website (they say PlastiDip but the same holds true for HyperDip):
Since are differences between genuine chrome and factory "chrome" finishes. Plasti Dip may adhere and react perfectly normal over one chrome surface, but may have issues over another. Chrome emblems, badges and trim are traditionally fine - but a certain set of chrome wheels for example may cause adhesion issues. Due to the differences between the many "chrome" surfaces, it's difficult to predict the result for each application. Although it works fine most of the time, testing may be required first to confirm Plasti Dip is a suitable product for your personal application.
@@AZOverland2017 thanks for the information. I'm going to try to test a small surface before buying the whole set of Hyper Dip.
How long before having to don’t again? I mean how long will it last?
I don't have an answer for that. This was my 1st time using the product so we shall see. I'm thinking up to year with the weather we have here in AZ.
How long should it dry before you go out and drive?
After your last coat, depending on weather, I would wait a minmum 3-4 hours.
6:50 I wonder what it'd look like stopping here. It kinda looks nice ....... like a gunmetal brushed look but ......... through the camera it's hard to tell
The issue would be once you decide to remove the coating it would not be thick enough to remove correctly. If it has not built up you can't peel it off it large sheets
Wonder if that is legal to do that?
does dip cover imperfections better at all?
It has the potential to hide minor imperfections. Depends on what it is...
Cuanto tiempo hay que esperar para retirar las cintas azules?ssludos de Spain👍
Depende de la temperatura. Pero unos 30 minutos
Did you apply the dip release outside the emblems and the pre-dips on the emblem too?
No Dip Release for emblems. Prep it thoroughly with the Pre Dip paying extra attention to the emblem edges. Make sure you do the recommended # of layers so it is thick enough to grab an edge for pulling when dry
@@AZOverland2017 Thanks! Last question, did you use the same spray on the emblems as well or did you have a separate spray meant for the emblems only?

Rock sliders, or Armadillo RS side steps?
These are actual rock sliders which is what I needed. They bolt heavily into the frame rail to provide maximum protection if going over a large rock or similar and coming down hard near the rocker panel area. Also protect in other ways the side steps wont. Depends on what you like to do though
My tape borders got messed up , pretty tricky when there is no hard line between surfaces as its a connected piece. maybe a razor blade along the tape line will help keep it straight

I really really wanted to see how much hard or easy it was to pull off tires
Well, you would need the proper number of jacks and jack stands to be able to get all 4 wheels off and have the vehicle safe. This is not necessarily easy and most people don't have that equipment. I do have it, but this is much easier to do with wheels on. Also, you would need to allow the wheels to dry completely before handling them to get them back on.
@@AZOverland2017 no I was saying that I was looking Forward see you pull the dip off the tires to see how easy or hard the dip comes off the tires
@@makingsense2017 OK, sorry, I misunderstood when I replied to this originally. It comes off very easily if you do the Dip Release and make sure you have enough layers. If you go too thin, then you will have issues getting it off. When done correctly it literally peels off in 1 piece easily. Sorry i didn't record that part, it was a long day at that point and my camera and i were both tired
@@AZOverland2017 thanks for the replies and your video was very helpful and informative
