private island off the southern coast of NC. Multi million dollar cottages owned by politicians, CEO's (tobacco), etc. I don't remember much , I was only there for a wedding, free shrimp... and Jack
Finally got around to painting the grille and bezels. Looks great, thanks guys!
Not to be biased, but I do think it looks best with a silver-ish paint job.
Yes, take the grill off. It's super easy. There is I think five clips and one screw.
Take it off.
Use a scotch pad to rough it up.
Wash it off.
Then spray with paint. I think I used rustoleum fusion for plastic. I put several thin coats and it came out great with no runs or chips.
Fun project.

Painting my grill was the first thing that I think I ever did when I got my fj60. Can't go wrong
Since were postin pictures. I really like it plus it follows my theme of black and blue. Just make sure all the loose chrome or lifting chrome is clean and smoothed out.

Definitely take the grill and bezels out and rough up the silver evenly. Some of mine was actually flaking off which prompted the impromptu painting.
I also sprayed a coat of spray on primer since the first time I went gloss back and it peeled off. This time I went primer and flat black and I dig it even more.

Looks much better in black. Bought the grill set from http://coolfj40.stores.yahoo.net/grilfjcharbl.html
painted the TOYOTA on the grill.

does the "Toyota" emblem on the grill come off, or do you have to tape it up?
while on the blacking out theme, i have seen guys talk about removing the chrome around the windows. do you have to change the rubber? any closeup picts of how this looks when removed?
thanks
