OB with black OEM grille

I'm starting to dislike my Gialla grille. I'm thinking of just painting my OEM grille black. Does anyone have any pictures with an OB coupe with a black OEM grille? I tried searching, but no luck.

Also, if anyone has had it done, anyone know what kind of paint will need to be used and if you could do it yourself?


Thanks,
Jeff

Noooooooooooo, don't paint!

It's been my experience that painting a grille is asking
for long hours of "re-do's." You don't have it on now
so send it out and have it power-coated gloss black!
It may cost you more now, but you'll only have to do
it once.

I have an extra oem grill from when my car was hit over the summer. The grill has a small scuff on the chrome finish and a hairline crack on the passenger side. I really didnt need to have the grill replaced, but like most G drivers, im very picky and I like my car to be perfect. You would never see any damage if it were painted. If anybody is interested shoot me a PM, i'll try to get some pics later.
