96 tacoma flat black bumper/grill

I was wondering if anyone has painted there bumpers and grill flat black and if so plz post pics so i can see because i want to see what it will look like befor i do it to mine.

 

I'm sure there are a ton of pictures on here of people doing it. Try searching as well as browsing through the long threads of truck pics - you'll be sure to see some there.

 

I plasti-dipped my front grille surround... kinda a flat black color

 

Vacountryboy, sorry to get off topic but how much lift and what size tires do you have?

 

i do like that lift and the flat black look

 

I'd like to see a '96 grille black too...maybe I would end up doing it to mine.

Very nice! What type of finish did you use on the grille? And, where did you buy the black front bumper?

Thanks

Painted rear bumper flat black. I color matched the front.

 

Mild sanding and sprayed with black matte activated 2k paint in aerosol..

 

here is my build thread for my grill and bumper.. but i did gloss black..

Not flat black, but I had them powdercoated in high gloss black.

After pic

 

a little late but yes








this is the only day light pic i have of my front and it was right after i hit a deer

 

I hate flat black... fugly
and doesn't seal all that well IMO

Dislike gloss as well.

instead prefer semi-flat... I use Krylon (rust tough)

Use it on everything, including my armor.

Touch up is a breeze and blends easily.
