Meh, I have to say, that silver grill looks terrible.

i kinda liked the chrome paint but if you could get the areas you were talking about painted black that would have been awesome, too bad it was such a hassle. I cant wait to see the bedliner grille

I'm uploading some now. Yeah, I agree, the chrome was too much, which is why I went all black.

Here are some pics of the grill sprayed with black bedliner. When you see the pics you'll see that it is very subtle, no chrome at all now. You actually have to look close to even see the pony emblem now. I've always liked the all black look too so this works for me.

I'm not sure how I feel about the texture but from 10' away the car looks pretty nice. Thanks for sharing your experiments and tolerating the criticism. We all are benefiting from it!

looks much better blacked out grille. You probably could have ordered a regular V6 grille with out the pony emblem and then they could have painted it black for you or you could have done it. I can't believe you took the grille on and off a few times. I did it once with my grille, not hard, but more of a pain bc I didn't really like popping off the plastic front end. Nice job though w/ the black
