foglight trim for LE - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on the best way to paint the chrome rings black on these foglights. I looked everywhere for aftermarket foglights with black trim instead of chrome with no luck. I'm worried about the paint sticking to the chrome and flaking off over time...thanks

i think if u get some blackout tape then you wouldn't worry about painting.

A member used it to cover the chrome on the door, wouldn't see why it wouldn't work for just the trim.

If you want to paint it, sand, primer, and paint then clear coat and it should last.

u can always also use 3m di-noc and cf wrap the covers.
