What would be involved in blacking out the chrome on the RX 300 front grille? Is there a way to do it where the black stuff doesn't start to peel off after a few months?

Default Please Forgive My Ignorance

I'm undoubtedly not up on the latest customizing technology, but the only way I know of to black out your chrome is to put this black liquid on it (kind of like a thick black paint). The liquid dries to a plastic-like coating, which after some time can start to peel off.

Is this the "black chrome" you're talking about, or is there some new way to do it?

Default black chrome

for black chrome, i prefer u order it customized...if not..then u can make it by buying this special black tape 2 make it the chrome black. its pretty nice actually. if u do it right, it'll come out lookin professional. so yea, i dunno. i hafta ask some where 2 buy the tape, i 4got. but ive seen it on a lot of cars, especially for grills. i wuz thinkin of doing it 2 my c320 grill, but not sure yet. anyways.. ill try 2 ffind out where 2 buy the black tape dvarapala.
