Paint It Black?

Looking for some opinions... Should I paint my billet grille black or leave it?

 

Black it out!

 

With a chrome grill on the edges, I'd say leave it alone. If you paint it black, it's going to look like a factory grill. Black if you color keyed the edges.

 

Black it out then paint your surround white..

 

Nah it looks good as is.

 

if you do, then your surround won't look right being chrome, and you'll need to paint it white. when the grille is black and the surround is white, your wheels won't look right all chromed out. so then you'll probably want some black wheels. then you get those and realize that your badges, tube steps, etc.... are still chrome and you'll want them black.... and on and on and on. i think it would look good with a black theme . but once you change one little thing, it will cause a chain reaction. so if you got time and money, black everything out! but if you don't, then don't mess up the look of your truck by painting that black, because then your whole truck will look "off" and you'll regret it.

EDIT: just noticed you sorta have black wheels, but still, it will make you want to change a lot of things to make it look just right.

 

if you black out your billet grill then you have to black out your Tacoma, toyota, and SR5 emblems.... and your wheels.

that would look good!

 

Yeah, I know what ya mean... Im debating right now whether I want to black it all out or not. I took my tube steps off and just ordered white door handles, and i'm thinking about just debadging it.. so i think i'm already kind of in the process

 

you can get a color matched grill brand new for 175 shipped on here. it will look a lot better than rattle can and probably cheaper than having the chrome painted professionally. just search for color matched 175

 

oh wow thanks, where exactly do i find it though? just in the search drop down? and i just painted just the billet black today, drying in the garage right now, i'll post a pic later of how it turned out but i'm still interested in a color matched grille..

 

paint it

 

I agree.... Sell your chrome one.. PS, shoot me a price on it if you do.

 

Ok so i blacked it out. What do ya think?

 

Looks great!!!

 

Niiice, now white out the chrome??
