How Should They Be Painted? (Assuming I choose to paint them)

[N35QU!K]

Well, as most of you know, its summer, and I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I'm looking to put some work into my car. I've already got my Tokico HPs and Intrax Springs on the way (), and I'm thinking about doing some minor visual improvements here and there, and who better to ask for opinions than you guys, right?

First on the list, I'm thinking about maybe spray painting the grill. As you can see its kind of a grayish color, and I was thinking about making it black, sparing the Toyota emblem of course, keeping it its current silver. So what do you guys think, leave it alone, or paint it black?

Second off, the rims I got last summer read "Hotwheels" on the center caps, and I was thinking about maybe painting over them, still not sure what color though, but the usual option of black stands, but if i feel I should, I could match up the color and just spray over the centercap with the same color as the rims themselves, silver. Should I leave it alone, paint it black, or paint it over with the same color as the rims?


(As soon as I figure out how to post a poll, I'll make it happen...)

Black Grill, Silver Center Caps

Lose the grill and put semi-gloss black mesh in its place. Then paint your whole car white and change over your interior to midnight leather then sell your rims and buy a set of 18" high gloss black rims. lol

I would chop up the gril. Remove the middle bar but keep the toyota logo. That alone would make it look 2x nicer. Then if you wanted to, you could put mesh behind it for a custom mesh grill. Thats what i am doing right now.

the gen 3 grille < the gen 3.5 grille, but nonetheless you should clear it like i did to my 3.5 and paint it the same semi-gloss black that i did

Here is the pic of my black glossy grill



Hope that help.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing mesh, but I dunno where to get it from. Any suggestions?

[TheKevin]

get the mesh from any hardware store. i'd suggest getting the firm one and not the flimsy type

Black grille, silver center caps looks the best.

If you clear the grille at all and decide to put mesh in, get the metal gutter guard from Home Depot not the plastic crap that costs more. The metal stuff is literally a dollar and some change.

some other options to consider. can you tell its a slow work day?
