    Hoping someone can help...

    Looking to black-out the mirrors and door handles, however, I am not sure if the black grill on my truck is a stock color. And, if I get the mirror covers that are black, will they match?

    Anyone know or have experience here? Maybe recommend a vendor?

    Color code is 1G3/LA13
    1G3=Magnetic Gray
    What is LA13? Trim code for interior?

    That probably means the grill was painted custom, correct? If it has a chrome bumper and chrome mirror/handles, the grill was probably chrome too.

    your front grille doesn't look like the stock one for MGM. Looks black to me (like mine) and it would be 202 code for matching the grille.
    now if you want to match the truck color, you need another color. (1G3). I would go with matching the body color, not the grille imo.

    Take some closeup pics in the sun to see if it's got flakes in the paint or if it's just black. If there's sparkles it's Attitude black 218

    So you want to black out the chrome parts to match the black grill?

    I would color match all the accessories to the body color.

    But I agree with a couple posters above.

    It might be an aftermarket grill and not a Toyota oem color.

    Posting a pic of the grill close up might help determine if it’s an OEM color

    Definitely not sparkle or metallic, its gloss black.
    Not sure if it is Rock Warrior or aftermarket.

    I think you're right, found this on ebay...
    So, where do I find 202 painted mirrors? Then again, if I get 202, it wont match the bottom part of the mirror, it looks to be a satin or flat black.
