Tried plasti-dipping twice and the finish always comes out not to my expectations. Its not bad its just that I'm too much of a perfectionist to have it even the slightest bit splotchy or peeling.

Every black grill I find online is some stupid ugly after market atrocity. I just want an oem grill that is painted black that I can put my chrome fugi logo on.

just take the chrome oem grille to a body shop. Get it painted matte or satin black. $100

If you want the emblem, I'd say you have to get it painted.

boom.

Paint it yourself following many of the DIY's on here, or get it professonally painted at a shop.

I got an OEM grill painted black. PM me if your interested

This, don't waste your money when you can do just as good of a job if you follow the DIY's

practice makes it perfect
