Mattphi Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah I'm feeling that a lot. I am going to go this weekend to get some estimates. What, you guys don't have a spare bedroom anymore? HAHA. Nope, not for painting. Plus I want it professionally done. No rattle-can for an expensive grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKSIDE Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 get a scuff pad and make it look like a brushed aluminum. All black grill doesn't look right on the silver car. +1 do the headlights first, then worry about the grille... If ur really serious...just wait til u go to a meet, and swap grille w/ some1 else just for a realistic example of how it'll actually look...then you'll know what to decide...

If ur really serious...just wait til u go to a meet, and swap grille w/ some1 else just for a realistic example of how it'll actually look...then you'll know what to decide... My headlights are "blacked out" already. I did the write up for it like 5 years ago. Dongle sprayed his grille with plasti-dip so I'm going to try it on this weekend. The deal is, I don't like chrome...at all. Even though it's a silver car, there's nothing else chrome and it looks a bit tacky. I'm not going to spray it black but going with more of a gunmetal/charcoal color which I think will actually clean up the front of the car and look much better with my black splitter.

Jesus Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just today I threw on Drew's old blacked out XC grille and then I see this thread. Fresh vote brought it back from the dead. Blacked out is kinda meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piston Slapper Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Paint it same color as car, go. The black would stand out too much I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
