Looking for example of painted grille insert, keeping chrome surround

I have been looking all over and know there must be people that have done this- I am looking for picture of the grille insert painted, but the bulge and surround still chrome. My truck below so you know what I am working with.

 

Hopefully someone chimes in.

In the meantime, try an online photo editor.ornyour phones pic editor. I do it with my rims all the time and blacking out bumper ends etc

It doesn't look perfect, but you can get a good sense of what it will look like.

I did the opposite. Sprayed my surround/bulge and kept my insert.

Here's a halfass job done with my crappy Pixel editor

 

That's actually a great idea I've never thought of, looking to do a chrome delete so I am definitely going to try this!

 

Cool, that actually looks pretty good so is something to strongly consider.

 

I've bronzed my wheels, blacked my wheels, blacked out grille and running boards and it hasn't cost me a dime.

 

what you should strongly consider is getting rid off all that chrome.

 

Nope, you do your truck and I will do mine.

 

What mine looked like stock..



What it looks like now...

 

That is exactly what I am trying to go for with the '17 pro insert. I can't tell, but is your bulge and surround black? Or is it color matched?

 

Color matched MGM.
I pulled the TOYOTA letters off the Pro grille and had them painted to match as well.
It's odd in the pics it looks a different color on the hood but it is just the light angles..
The left end of this pic you can tell it matches.

 

Beautiful, I have MGM as well and looking at your pics, I have decided that I am going to color match as well. I thought about doing an all black front, but the color match looks great.

 

This is from when I had my 2nd gen..
