First try Plastidipping grill - Yay or Nay?
First try with plasti-dip. Love the results, tell me what you think.
Still need to paint the top trim piece. Will do it tonight.
Should I leave the circle around the -->(A)<-- chrome and keep the A itself black?
Or should I remove the black rubber inside the A?
I didnt paint the grey trim within the grill. It gives it nice contrast, and compliments the anthracite color of my car.
Tell me what you guys think

Looks good but I'd keep the A shiny as well as it's ring.

not bad, i'd leave the entire Acura symbol chrome though.
the original grey plastic matches the anthracite pretty well. I blacked out the grey plastic in the grille too.

I like the wheels, 'cept you missed a spot (the center cap!!!) lol
+1 on leaving the ring and the "A" chrome. I'd dip that lip too above the emblem. The A and the ring just pop and it would look sweet.
Oh and don't forget to plastidip the windows. No one can ever se in...the rest is de minimus.

Wheels arent plastidipped. Theyre spray painted with Duplicolor HWP 104 satin black high performance wheel paint and a couple coats of clear. Turned out pretty nice with my low budget.
I will remove the rubber from the A, thnx for the input every1. I will snap a picture of the finished product in a couple of hours.

Hmm.. Not really digging blacked out grills on TLs that aren't nighthawk black... Especially when done with plasti-dip because it looks flat black rather than glossy black. Even than, glossy black would look a little off on a non-black TL.
But since you already did it, I agree with others. Take off the plasti dip from the A.... For another driver in the distance driving towards you all they will see is a "O" on your front grill.... Looks dumb.
The wheels look ok... I prefer stock color over those. However, I do like your custom bumper plugs
