So i want to paint my grill black...I was wondering what the proper procedure would be like spraypaint or actual paint? I dont care for your opinion on grills just the advice on how to paint it! Thanks!

 

?sn95s have grilles?

Well if you want it plain and simple, if its plastic, wash off the grill with somthing like dish soap. just buy paint for plastics which have some adhesive or spray paint that needs no primer. Do light coats, make sure to get the whole thing. And with wpray paint wait maybe 4 minuts a coat until however dark you want it.

But this all depends on the surface, how much quality you want in it etc. ive done some automotive painting so i have some knowledge

 

course sn95's have grills...the 99+ anyways.

the npi's didnt come with grills...just a pony in the air kinda like the mach delete on the newedge. is it a billet grill or something your wanting to paint? plz dont tell me your wanting to paint your radiator. take a pic of the front of ur car and show what your wanting to paint.

 

I tried painting the chrome trim "corral" area that surrounds the pony, kinda like a poor mans Mach 1 grill delete look

Take the piece off the car and sand the area to roughen up the surface. Then clean it thorougly and paint it using several thin coats. I used semi-gloss black spray paint from a rattle can, the end result looked "ok" but after about a year some of the paint flaked off [:@]

Instead of trying it again I just bought the Mach 1 grill delete kitlol

 

i have a billet grill made of polished aluminum i was hopin to keep the gloss look with black paint if at all possible?

 

i dont know how well thats gonna work honestly.

i wanna say when i was looking for my billets i found some that were already black. that would probably be your best bet. start googling cuz i think i remember seeing them (atleast for my year, not sure about yours)

 

Your best bet might be to take the grill to a body shop and get it powdercoated gloss black
