    Replacement is the best way to black it out. I have one of these coming this week.

    That grill will not work on a 2019 with TSS.

    OP just order the black SR5 trim and be done with it. I went cheap and plati dipped mine but plan to replace it with the SR5 eventually.

    BBP color match paint for the bezel (sand with 1000 grit, 2 coats adhesion primer, 3 coats paint, 3 coats Rust-Oleum automotive clear)

    Black Plastidip for grill, anthracite grey Plastidip for the emblem (4 coats each).

    In my experience, Plastidip holds up better for the large grill part - since it is rubberized it doesn't chip.
