Has anyone done this that they have pictures of or anything?

I've got a new grille in the mail, so I figured I might black out the painted section behind the grille when I swap them (car is white, so that shows up quite clearly behind the honeycomb grille.) I'm just not sure if it's worth the effort, or if it can be done cleanly while just the grille is out (as opposed to having to take off the whole front bumper cover or whatever.)

Anyone around here done this? (I remember seeing a write-up about it here before, but that was probably at least a year ago and I can't find anything in the search.)

 

Yeah a rattle can, tape and some newspaper. Didnt remove the bumper and made sure to tape everything off real well and cover with newspaper.

 

I hid my fogs behind the grille and use black window screen material to hide how I mounted them. I also used black paint to protect part of the radiator support that I had to cut out since the lights are mounted in the center. I guess where I'm going with this is... Paint it black and if you don't want to risk any over spray then brush it. Good Luck and post pics.

 

i used flat black paint, and sprayed it quick. with fast drying paint, took me all of 15 mins. looks good too!! id show you pics, buts its all black, cant see anything in the grille.

 

 

Hoonta, Nice Job!!!

 

looks good, now get some touch up paint for the lower lip.

 

I used dupont spray in bedliner on mine,it takes alot to chip it! just take your time and tape everything off really good, scuff it with a scotch brite and shoot it

 

Hootna, I love the color scheme youve got, very unique

 

When I got the Agent 47 grille I painted that part flat black but as you can see in the pic it still shows. The radiator also shows up a lot. If I take off the grille again for any reason I'm going to paint the radiator. I've been told not do it but Eastwood has a special Rad paint that won't ruin the cooling function.
