i want to paint my grille black but i dont know if it should be flat or gloss...which would look better...im guessing gloss because the car is gloss but if you guys could give me your opinion. if you can post pics and tell me if its a gloss or flat black! but only ones on a black car.....YES I SEARCHED THE FORUMS SO DO NOT SAY THAT....IM SICK OF THAT!

 

Gloss.

 

yea thats what im leaning towards...keep em coming guys thanks!

 

How about semi-gloss, that gives the grille a satin finish which should also be clearcoated to survive and still look presentable....

gloss for sure....I had a white G35 couple and i painted the emblym black and the grill pearl white....looks really good

 

i did satin semi gloss and it turned out great..

 

gloss for sure. btw, do you know how to take the grill out? i heard its hard.. thats whats keeping me from doing it.. and also lazyness lol

 

it's really not that hard to remove...couple clips are a little hard to get to, but not that bad...

 

The grill is extremely simple to remove. Couple clips on the bottom, little square spring loaded fasteners in the upper right and left corners, and the 3-5 round factory fasteners on top. Soooooo easy. There's a DIY for an aftermarket grill which shows detailed pictures of how to remove it.

I did my grill semi gloss black (left Mt fuji chrome) and I think it's perfect.

 

well dont forget i have a BLACK car. what is satin semi gloss? can you guys post a pic please? and whats better gloss black or semi gloss black on a black car? thanks

 

I'm painting mine this weekend hopefully and doing gloss.
