Hey there

Been thinking i might like the look better if i was to paint my Grill Inserts and maybe front bumper grill

Im sure many of you have done this

Any good tips?

Pics?

Best paint?

 

i used windex to clean them.

then krylon fusion paint. here is a pic, but its hard to tell

 

my buddy keeps telling me to do this also
he says black looks way better

 

it does

 

i have the ss grille and painted it black. brand new out of the plastic just sprayed it with krylon fusion.
looks good and held up awesome. i did 2 of them so i know it lasts good if done this way

 

Ya i would want to do mine flat black

 

I did mine in flat black. But honestly, I don't think you can really tell if you paint it glossy or flat to tell you the truth.
Like mentioned before, I did mine in Krylon Fusion Flat Black.

 

i got mine silver

 

pic?

 

Here are my grills painted silver metallic! sorry for the bad pic


and here is the rear lip grills!

 

yep did mine flat black too.

 

i did my front grille in black and rear bumber inserts. i also removed my side mirrors.. taped off the painted part of my side mirrors and painted the greyish plastic black. looks alot better for only spending 10bucks max on paint

 

Pics?

 

that the same

 

good idea on this and for everyone that has already done this as well. Another good cheap started mod for peeps low on cash

 

the same what ?

 

I like the silver metallic but I don't think it'd look nearly as good on my ss/sc grill.

 

i just got sum rustoleum black plastic paint and painted mine. all i did was wipe them down with degreaser, washed them and dried them good, then applied a coat or two. so far, looks great and no issues, highly recomended

 

Bumping an old thread to see if anyone has done this on a black car...but painting the inserts black.

 

I prepped it with degreaser and painted with Fusion Krylon Plastic paint. Came out awesome!!

 

might want to use a plastic adhesion promoter. that way it doesn't start chipping and peeling off down the road.

 

Plasti Dip it.

 

I had some gloss black tremclad in a bucket leftover from when I did the shed, I just dipped a thick stucco roller in there an rolled my grilles black, its only lumpy when you look at them up close, but from about 20ft away they look great
