    A couple of mods I’m planning: I have ordered the Chrome Stoppers front bumper shellz, hood bulge and surround. I also plan on doing the OEM or Form Lighting LED headlight conversion. I will have the grill off when I do the headlights. I think the SR5 grill in the charcoal grey would look better black and particularly gloss black, especially with the Cement surround pieces. Would using a rattle can of high quality paint be ok or should I take it to a body shop? If the rattle can would be ok what would be the proper steps for the paint prep? Cleaning solution? Primer? The best, most durable paint to use? Has anyone tried painting their grill and were you successful ? I am envisioning a gloss black/cement front end and TRD Pro LEDs and think that would look awesome! C77F237C-41A4-4DF5-B928-EE760D61E773.jpg
