color matched my grill surround today what do you guys think?

alright so i finally color matched my grill surround after a really long process today i messed up the first time and had to strip the paint haha, but now i got it right this time i just need another coat or two to get the color right but i need another can of paint.

anyway what do you guys think so far??

Before the color match




After the match...i forgot to take the tape off the triangle part of the surround, and my grill is out as well

 

Looks really good!

I plan on doing this very soon. What paint did you use? Your truck is an Impulse Red Pearl right? How well did the paint match? As far as I can tell from the pics, it matched dead on.

 

Looks good.

Now you can do mine

 

looks good so far, it changes when you get some clear coeat on it too.
I just painted mine and waiting for the clear to harden so I can sand and buff. I hate painting lol and the prep work takes forever.
did you use http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ paint? took them 9 days to send it here but the paint is a real good match to my silver so I forgive them, but yeah anyone who uses them it will take 1 full can to put 3 light coats on your grille (with no F'ups)

 

no mine a actually Barcelona Red but ya it really did match pretty damn well after a few coats it is just a tad bit off. but i got the paint from NAPA paint and body took like 10 min. to mix up the can you can look online and see if you have a local shop. but i have heard that some of the paint and body dont mix in an aresole can like the one a went to.

but sure send me your grill haha

 

looks good

 

Man, Barcelona Red and Impulse Red Pearl look more identical than I thought. I have yet to see one in person though. How much was the paint?

 

well the barcelona red is a little darker and the inpulse red is well ligherter and a little more orange.

but it was like $15 bucks + tax for a can which woulda been more than enough if i didnt mess up haha.

 

Cool, thanks for the info on the price. Again, very well done.

 

Looks great bud

 

Like!

 

I was highly considering doing this but I found Toyota color matched grilles from www.trdparts4u.com for $175. I know it's pretty steep but won't be too bad once I sell mine. At least I know it will be right just like factory.

 

I like it!

 

time to do the bumper!!

 

Looks nice

 

looks great!

 

looking really good bro...nice job and congrats...

btw...finish up that satoshi...it'll definitely help complete the face lift...

 

o ya for sure man i have it done i just took it out to paint i had a feeling that i was gonna get some paint on it but it'll be back on once i get the last coat+sanding+clear coat.

 

Looks Great.

Yuma Taco,
