    Plast Dip is is!
    The weather turned warm enough here in Southern Ontario to paint/dip and here is the result (after an overnight rain on my freshly detailed truck)

    I'm very happy with my stock SR5 grill right now.

    If......if....I change the wheels & tires.......then I have a plan of what I'll do in terms of changing the grill.

    Plastidip. Looks great and hasn’t chipped or peeled anywhere.

    Thanks, did you use an adhesive promoter prior to spraying the plastidip?

    Did this too. Blacking out just the chrome bezel is a shocking bang for buck improvement to the ‘18 grill (and it doesn’t look cheap).

    Nope. Just cleaned the grill off with water, let it dry, then sprayed it.

    Hi,

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that grill from?

    I like yours and this one but yours better.
    Whether you'd like to answer or not, I do appreciate you posting the picture of your grill.

    Thanks.

    Thanks man! morimoto switchback LED halos. I wired them backwards so I have amber halos 24/7 rather than white.

    FYI here is the 2018 tss radar compatable grille I now have

    Been wondering how to keep the radar with the all mesh grills... Waiting for a way to mount behind the grill.

    I'm pretty sure its from Front Runner Outfitters and the thing on the side I believe is an awning.
