What kind of paint are you going for? I'm going to assume that your going for a matte black look?
Yeah more of a matte look but still black not the greyish matte black, the black I am using is wayyy darker than the lower vents of the bumper which is why i think it stands out a bit too much but then again I'm debating on painting the lower grilles black or even cutting them out what do you think about that?

Lower grills?? Like the mesh? If so, don't do it.

Yeah I was thinking about it and just decided not to do it, I'm just going to sand down my grille and redo the paint job with Plasti Dip paint

Lol so how long have you been lurking around these forums? I've seen you post about how you want to do them for awhile.

There are alternatives to the oven. Try the heat gun for example
