I am slowly starting to black my FJ out. Front grille bumpers, and mirrors (all the silver). Any advice for taking off and painting? What to use? And My FJ is a yellow 07 that I eventually want to repaint a solid white or black. Any advice on places around Jacksonville??

Cbeck are you the guy I sent from Instagram? Taking most every thing off is easy except the bumper parts. The whole bump has to come off front and back.

I didn't take anything off mine to paint except the mirrors and door handles. Just tape and paint

I did take off bumpers and grill. They were pretty easy to remove.
But just taped and masked the entire side of FJ for the handles and mirrors. I have had over spray get me in the past. It leaves a rough texture to paint and is hard to get off.

Rustolium satin black (color code # 7777) is what I used to black out my mirrors (suggested by Speedrye). Great color and durability!

As for interior, any tips on blacking out all the plastic pieces?

Plastidip would be a good way to paint the whole fj. You can even paint the rims with it. You should post some pic so that we could see the finish product.

Just throwing out another option... I do have the Trail Teams front bumper ends, left and right, the rear bumper ends, left and right, and the two valence panels, front and rear, that I'll part with for $300 for all of it.  The rear valence does NOT have the tow hitch cut out, but that is only a dremel tool away. 

Originally purchased from Sparks Toyota in Myrtle Beach.  All are in good, but NOT showroom perfect, shape.  Mostly little "dings" from gravel here and there.  I can post up pics, but it would take a little while.

Let me know.
