Paint it all. Use a bonding promoter if it's plastic. You'd hate to install it and then realize you can see part of the unpainted area.

It appears my advice is so quick that I answered the question before it was even posed. Go me!

I am fixing to order my GT front bumper and I already have my GT grille surround....my question is how should I go about painting the grille surround? Just paint the whole thing even what would be hidden when the grille is put in it? Leave the 2 columns unpainted? any opinion?

Am I the only one that sees a reply as post #1 and the original question post as #2 or is my computer messed up...

You're fast as lightning man! Share you secret, haha.

Yea, it would totally suck if I was able to see part of the unpainted area from behind the grille.


I would awesome assume that looking at that picture of my grille the pieces that wouldn't be painted wouldn't show but I guess paint it all for good measure.

If you computer is messed up then all of our computers must be, haha. He is just fast as lightning the forum doesn't know how to react.

After looking at the picture if I painted the whole thing wouldn't the top of the grille surround be visible(gold) behind the grille though?

I guess I'm not properly visualizing what you're wanting it to look like.

I am talking about if i paint the whole grille surround even the area that will be behind the grille the top of the grille surround may show through if painted gold .

Seems like I am hated on this forum...can never receive any help.

A competent painter should be able to mask that area off so it remains black behind the bar grill insert...
