Color matched my grill today.. Opinions?

So it took me about 8 hours to do this and I think it came out pretty good considering i have never done anything like this.

Before:






After:



After putting the gloss coat on I let it sit in the shop over night with the heat on to help the paint dry. How do yall think it came out?

 

looks good now time for a grill

 

Thank, haha if it wasn't so damn expensive to ship here id be doing the Satoshi.

 

i got my billit on ebay for 35 and painted it black its not a satoshi but i like it

 

Nice, the prices aren't bad, its just shipping to here cost an arm and a leg.

 

yeah i can imagine but a cheaper grill might offset the shipping a little satoshi is alot of work too ..........your truck is looking good

 

Thanks yours is looking pretty good too. How hard was it to plasti-dip the lower front valence? Yeah im gona keep looking for a cheap grill that looks good. What all did you have to do to put your new grill in?

 

plastidipping the vallance was really easy took about 2 hours. the grill was easy too just cut out the center and the new one screws right in i will be doing the lower half soon.....the satoshi requires doing some bondo work thats why i didnt do it

 

looks great, i did mine not to long ago. zero regrets

 

Yeah I absolutely love it.

 

if you have access to expanded metal the size of your grill you could use that for a satoshi. Thats what i used and from other people that own tacomas they like the look.

 

Hmm... where could I find something like that at?

 

like a small metal supply place, or a home improvment center(jerry's, home depot) etc...

 

Well maybe next time we make a trip up to a big city I'll have to look at it at the Home Depot. There's no one on this island that sells anything like that.

 

Looks really good. I would color match the bug deflector b/c it looks out of place. Reminds me of a unibrow.

 

Snowgod06 - Those pics dont seem to be working.

 

yea, im not to sure whats going on, i copied the link location from my gallery, and still nothing.

 

How would you go by painting the bug deflector? The same was as the grill?

 

Yeah i tried to look at it in your gallery and couldn't see it either, just the little icon of it up top.

 

very nice!
