Front Grill

[Phastroh]

Has anyone successfully painted their front grill?

It is a chrome plated plastic with that dark tint film over it so I cannot even imagine there is a way to pauint the thing and it stay on.

I hate it in the dark chrome anymore and with my Carbon Fiber Blinker housing and front trim and front ADRO LIP it is the odd man out.

I recently used Raptor Flat Black Wheel paint for my chrome exhaust rings and it has held up like new after a few months but this is plastic so I am not sure what will happen if I try it. It is wheel paint but this is a plastic grill.

I thought to have it dipped but still the thought of it peeling or chipping is not fun.

I did see a Carbon Fiber one it is sooooo nice but it was like $600. I gotta wait that is a lot for a grill that I would be happy with in just black.

Not specific to your car but with a previous vehicle I asked my body shop specialist about this exact issue with a plastic (non metal) grille and he said I would NOT be happy with the results. Paint, plastic, and front impact/insects/road debris/etc are a terrible combination. Nature wins. I lose.

I saw one Plastidipped but it was too bleh for me.

I mean it was cool but I need it to be a different black.

I know a place that would do the CF on the outer ring and I guess I just leave it that stupid gold, dark chrome. It just no longer matches my car.

I saw a few people that had the Sport Prestigue I think that comes with a black grill but not sure that was available in the 2020 and if so finding one seems impossible as the ones on Ebay are all chrome/dark.
