Paint the stock Grill ?
I Have a black coupe and was wondering if anybody has ever painted the stock grill body color leaving just the Infinity symbol chrome? Not sure how it would look. I have a feeling you guys will tear the idea up. Have to it! What do you think?

ive seen it done...and if i had a BO coupe i would do this for sure |
here is the pic. it's hard to tell in this pic...but trust me...it looks sick :eek:

i think it was one of the best decisions cosmetically taht i did, next to wheels of course...here is my LR coupe about a month ago, i think its a step that takes our cars away from the "luxury" chrome look and more towards that sports coupe

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...1/DSC02639.jpg the black car is mine and the grill looks great, do it |
also, id reccommend getting this done professionally. caskyline or any good body shop can do it for you.

Do it! It looks bad a$$

Don't paint your grillle...............!
I've painted several grilles on various cars and the upkeep is a PIA! Powder
coating is the way to go. Once it's done your thru except for cleaning. You could do gloss or semi gloss black powdercoating.........it will look great forever! LOL |
how do you powder coat a plastic grill ? it would melt in the hardening process over @ 500 deg + plastic = no more grill
|
^^that's what i thought
|
^^ you guys are correct
You can not powder coat plastic. Having it painted at a bodyshop and clear coated is the best way to go. |
how do you think it would look if you were just to paint just the emblem black (on a black car) any1 got a pic or a photochop. I have been thinkin of doin that for some time now...
