How to dechrome the back part of a Toyota Yaris

Model: Toyota Yaris Xp130 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Manufacturer emblem

In this video we see how to de-chrome all the chrome parts of the back of a Toyota Yaris. In fact, many prefer matte black trims instead of shiny chrome. The YouTuber shows us the very simple tools we need for the operation. Of course, we will need a can of matte plastic paint, which we can find for example on Amazon, with code B00NVHM4PS at a price of 17.49 euros, with free delivery. First, we need to remove the chrome handle on the rear hatch: it's very simple, we just need to remove the fixing bolts from the inside. Then we clean the emblems well, which will remain in place, and we will mask them with newspaper and body shop tape. Our hands must be very light, and we will need at least four coats, letting 10 minutes pass between each coat and then at least thirty minutes before removing excess paint; we will remove the smaller parts with a toothpick, put the central handle back in place, and that's it!
