Black paint coming off 2018 sport grill

Have numerous spots where black paint is coming off grill exposing chrome underneath. Is this a common problem and has anyone tried repainting their grill with success. If so what product did you use.

 

can you post some pics?

 

Was it plastidip?

 

Likely painted by previous owner.

I'd sooner just buy a TRD pro grill.

You can't give away those chrome grills haha.

 

Bought the truck new in 2018 so no not plastidip. I’ll have to wait till tomorrow for pics. It’s dark and snowing here.

 

your description says white trd sport so I take it it was painted by somebody other than Toyota. Tough to paint over chrome properly

 

The truck came this way from the factory.

 

How? I put a 2018 TRD grill on my truck and it’s just black plastic with a chrome surround. Unless the dealer you bought from our something over the chrome surround

 

I painted my chrome grille. I scuffed it with a scotchbrite pad, dusted it with a self etching primer and then gave it a good couple coats of SEM Bumper paint. It has held up for the last year that way. No noticeable issues.

 

The sport has a color matched grill surround. So this is quite the mystery.

 

Thats what I thought. His description says white truck. He says black paint peeling off of chrome grill. "Somethins fucky"

 

I think he’s talking about the center portion of the grill with the diamond pattern. I’ve seen reports of the color flaking of. My 2019 is still fine.

 

Yes, that’s correct. The outer portion is chrome and the center is where the black is peeling.

 

If it’s a sport the outer portion shouldn’t be chrome.

In any case, grab some black spray paint and quit being a useless little girl.

 

Outer portion, as in trim ring, is chrome on the sport. Why am I the only one in this thread that understands what the OP is talking about? I think he described the problem pretty clearly.

 

I think this is the kind of grille the OP has.

 

i think they’re guessing.

 

Yes, and it is chrome under the black center (black chrome) no peeling on mine, but stone chips. Chrome showing where chipped.

 

Sorry it took so long to get a picture posted. This is what it looks like with the paint peeling. I can remove it with a fingernail. Not sure if it’s worth the effort to strip all the paint off and do the right prep so new paint would adhere. Other option would be to replace the grill. Thanks for the replies everyone other than Sharpish who has useless information and only cares about getting his post count up.
