White 4Runner paint job(s)

Try a clay bar first.

i think it needs a clay + polish but i'm just going to have a pro do it as i'm ill equipped to do such things..anybody know what the going rate for a service like that is?

Thanks man! You should do it. I was really happy with how mine turned out. I haven't seen a dipped 06' style grill. Most usually just do the center bar. Would be interesting to see. Plasti is reversible anyway, if you'd just like to do it to see how it would look. Really easy stuff to work with.

And on topic; My good friend [MENTION=47269]Darklight[/MENTION] has all of his rear windows done on a black 4R. It looks really good, but it's really dark in the back of his truck. I don't know if he has the fronts that dark though. I've got 20% on my fronts to match the factory smoke on the rest and I'm happy with it. It's still ticket-able in my state as our legal limit is 27%... Which is actually pretty lenient compared to most I guess. I don't seem to get bothered about it at all. It seems like when I was a kid, I used to get window tint tickets every weekend.

Mine is 5% limo tint over the stoke smoked windows, the front windows are NC legal tint 35% and I have a 5% limo tint strip accross the very top of the front windsheild. It is very dark inside at night time but it does help keep it cooler during the day.

Good luck on the paint job whatever you may decide. I can tell you auto paint is a thing I do not have patience with,lol.

Here is a picture, not a very recent one but it show the tint:
