I have never had an issue with warpage, but my guys are very experienced. Regarding rust pits, either way the rust has to be removed. There are hi temp fillers that can be used under powder coating if you want perfection.

Just an FYI. JT Outfitters sells a pewter rattle can that matches very close to the Vegas gold and the OEM pewter parts in case you need it. I am thinking about doing my rims Vegas gold.

Be careful with having them sand blast thin metal parts like your cluster face or ashtray lid. Those parts warp and put very easily. The powder coat shows everything.

I ruined two bezels for the gauge cluster when they were power coated. Both warped along the the bottom edge of the opening for the speedometer face. Talk to the shop doing the process

Here are a few additional OEM items; front bumper, mirror arm and gage cluster for colour comparison to

Prismatic Vegas Gold and Shimmer Gold.

From what I see, neither of those is close to OEM. Someone mentioned this color was a close match. I have not seen a sample personally. Prismatic Steel Silver PMB 5208.

I have not tried steel silver, I will get a sample

I haven’t received my STEEL SILVER sample yet but here are pics of three samples I ordered before landing on STEEL SLIVER as a possibility. These three, IMO, are not close. The part I am using for comparison is a new bumperett I ordered. This all hinges on Toyota using the same silver at various parts production locations. My guess is Toyota would be very specific as to the exact color their supplier use. Am I giving them too much credit? Either way I think we are close. I have some other OEM new parts that I will did out when I get the STEEL SILVER sample.

Thanks to all the posts and info. Here is a comparison of a newly painted pewter compared to Prismatic Steel Silver.

Painted pewter on the bottom. Silver steel on top overlaid with a high gloss clear coat (powder coat).

There is a minor difference, but the silver steel is really close for an off the shelf product.
