Painting my billet grill
After receiving a bit of flak about my billet grill I have decided to paint it black.
Since I can't find an aftermarket grill that looks good, I thought this was the best way to go.
Has anyone done this...Any advice, paint type, technique, etc?
Advice would be greatly appreciated![9](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/9.gif)
Thanks
Here is a pic of my G with the stainless billet grill

You shouldn't change something on your car because the people of the interwebz say it's "hella ghey" or whatever...which as a saying is "hella-oh-two."
if YOU like it, keep it. if you don't, then check out ionic or gialla grills. or mod your OEM. as for painting the billet, i would say, "pass." more trouble than it's worth.
at the end of the day, it's about what YOU want YOUR car to look like. you will never meet 92.4837% of these people so who cares what they think. if you put everything on your car that everyone thought was so cool, then all the cars would look the same.
