Default Lexus GS430 Blackout
I was drinking a little too much scotch the other night and I decided to black out my GS430 (Door Trim and Grille). I was hesitant to do the grille which was a dark gray, but it was pretty chipped up so I went ahead and took care of it. Looks pretty good. Anybody else done this?

You should at least make it look glossy so it would look much subtle...

Nothing wrong with it, just personal preference. But it does look really nice on yours because of the clearcoat and it blends with the rest of the car.
