Need help/advice with either plastidipping or painting my grille
My car has about 115k of highway miles on it so the grille itself has a few nicks and scratches but nothing major like cracking, etc. I really like the idea of a matte black grille but idk whether I should paint it or plastidip it.
If I plastidip it, how should id do it and what should I need other than 1-2 cans of the stuff and how long will it last? I live in Chicago. I've read seen that you should do 5-6 thin coats and wait 10-15m in between.
If I paint it, what exact brands, quanitiy, and how should I got about it? Do they do rattlecan matte?? and matte clear??

I did a lot of reading/Youtubing on plastidipping but none on matte paintjobs... I am not looking for generic tutorials. I want to know what products/methods worked well and what didn't for a G35 grille specifically in the long run which is why I am asking you guys to give me specifics and insight.

IMO matte black on emerald mist = fail. (edit mixed up my paint colours, thought that was the grey-sandy colour, my bad.)
gloss black grill on OB
Plastidip is great for matte finishes but ive never seen a gloss one that looked good, and grills should be gloss, IMO

^ He did a matte black grille just the way I would do it while leaving the Mt. Fuji emblem untouched. I think it looks very classy.

Some reason I associated EM with that sandy-grey-beige shenanigans.
I retract my previous statement, it will look good, do it.
