You’d expect a gold-plated Toyota badge to scream luxury – instead, it whispers.
Two guys, a plastic emblem, and a kit of chemicals are all it takes.
Each motion is deliberate and oddly hypnotic, way more satisfying than it has any right to be.
And you can watch for yourself in the clip above.

How these guys turn chrome into gold
The video comes from Gold Plating Services, and it’s a quiet masterclass in patience.
They start with a regular Toyota badge – plastic, chrome-plated – and break out their Universal Chrome Edition kit.
First comes the chrome stripper, dissolving that mirror layer until a warm copper-nickel tone seeps through.
That’s the base that the gold grabs onto.
With the chrome gone, they activate the surface, rinse everything down, and start laying on the gold.
There’s zero automation here.
Every inch is brushed by hand, and every stroke counts.
The trick, as they put it, is patience: rinse, repeat, and never rush the shine.
What’s more satisfying is how long the finish lasts.
The company says they’ve got emblems that have stayed gold for more than 25 years.
No flaking, no fading – just sunlight bouncing off a surface that started out plain plastic.
Why everyone’s watching this gold-plated Toyota badge get made
There’s something about the precision of the process that keeps you watching.
Each step builds on the last, and the transformation happens so gradually it feels almost unreal.
Even the smallest movement has purpose, from the rinse to the final polish.
The end result is a gleaming Toyota badge that looks straight out of a concept build.
But the real hook isn’t the gold, it’s the rhythm, the repetition, and the care behind it all.
A Toyota badge becomes gold, and somehow, patience becomes luxury.
