Painting OEM Grill Black. How?

Hello, I have seen many people with the OEM grill painted black. It looks sick as hell, did you guys paint them yourself or have them done professionaly? Im not sure where to go. I live in Seattle incase anyone knows of a place around here. Thank you for the help!

do not do it youself unless you know how to do it right. considering you are asking im assuming you dont (no offense intended). take it to a body shop where they will strip the chrome prime prep paint etc. or PM sundeviljay or caskyline and they can make you a black grille with the emblem delete.

good luck

Love Seattle........July...August...Sept!

I've painted grilles before and to keep them lookin
**** you have to repaint every six months or so. The
right way to do the job is to have it Black Chromed.
Check out the chrome shops in the Seattle area and
ask them how much they'd charge for Black Chrome.
I've had car and bike parts done with this process
and it doesn't chip or fade (like paint).
