    do it for sure, it is easier than you think, If you are worried about it being to much black, I did mne in a charcoal mettalic color that I really like.

    Thanks, i used a couple coats of flat black Krylon Fusion to bond with the plastic, then top coated with Rustolem charcoal metallic. You can kinda see the paint cans in this pic, I will see if I can get a better pic of the rustolem can. Also the paint dried a little darker than it is in this pic.

    I was wanting to do something like that (charcoal) but wasn't sure the other paint would stick... Doh (per Homer Simpson) or face palm (per what's his name from star trek) :annoyed:

    Thanks...... :D

    Yeah it sticks fine, Like i said just use the krylon fusion as a base coat. Once it is sealed back up, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    I voted no to the black. The charcoal metallic would probably work though.

    If you are going to keep that base grille, try to color match it.
