So here is the story. I have a black on black 2009 TL w/ Tech Package. I already put 40% Llumar ceramic tints on all around. Here is what I am thinking about doing:

Paint Grille: "Beak" in gloss black & the surround in Matte Black
JnC Headlights: Matte black with gloss black ridges leaving reflector in
JnC Tails: Matte Black
Paint Silver on Trunk: Matte Black
Paint All Emblems: Matte Black
Powder Coat Stock Rims: Semi Gloss Black "egg shell" with gloss black caps and matte black "A" in cap
Cover all Chrome trim: Matte black vinyl on roof trim & window trim

I tried to find a car that was done this way in the pictures section & I think I would be a first. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

I also think the Black Chrome Emblems could be a cool alternative to the matte black emblems.

please please.. dont put flat black on black.. its just pointless..

plus it looks cheap.. only thing id do on your list is probably the chrome trim..

 

So you would do all gloss black? or don't paint anything? After looking at some pics on my lexus forum, I am leaning towards a satin black instead of the matte. It just looks too Camryesque with the all black grille IMHO.

 

2010_TL's TL comes close to what you are shooting for .

 

No flat black. It just won't look right. As for the emblems, I would just remove them alltogether.

 

I think it sounds good!!

 

see gloss black doesnt look bad, matte or flat black does on a black car..

 

I agree with Potmilkz, I'd suggest the gloss black.
