All Blacked Out

[x5joe2013]

Finally got all my grills swapped out.

I sprayed the silver accent pieces on the lower left/right honeycomb grills and the skid plate.

I'm pumped!

Looks great! What paint did you use for the grills? Wanting the do the same on mine - thinking about using Plastic-Dip in matte black.

I only sprayed the silver accent pieces on the left/right lower grills and skid plate. The other 3 main ones I replaced with black OEM pieces.

I used this matte black spray from amazon - Rust-Oleum 7578838 Professional High Performance Enamel Spray Paint, Flat Black, 15-Ounce by Rust-Oleum http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PIEWLA/..._57vBtb0X68VMG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.amazon.co...Btb0X68VMG</a>

Do it!

I am a fan and perhaps a follower.

Bravo!

Thanks for the info. How many coats for the grills?

The kidney and center mesh grills I purchased in black and swapped.

The skid plate and silver accent piece I just put two coats on.

I think it'd be pretty difficult to spray the center mesh grills. Don't think you'd get good coverage because of the tight pattern.

Looks good.

Which grills did you end up going with?

The long black center ones I got from ECS. They are OEM from a different model.

The main kidneys I got from EBay. Not perfect quality, but good enough that once installed you don't notice - http://m.ebay.com/itm/171324216992?nav=VI
