I have almost completed making an OEM emblemless grill and plan to take it to the paint shop soon. Bigc and I decided to work on this together and we are both getting pretty close to being done (DIY will be posted once we have the grills finished and have them on our rides). Now I'm trying to decide what color to paint it. See below for pics of a similiar style grill that inspired this project and pics of my car. Most people that have this grill paint it black. I'm leaning towards either BS or DG because I'm not sure that I would like black on Lakeshore Slate. What do you think?

ok, how bout this: Gold WITH diamond studs? gangsta!

 

^Naw son, gotta go with Platinum and canary yellow diamonds. That would be sick!

 

Flat Black... now make me one...

 

Gloss Black, Flat Black, Color Matched

didn't feel like photoshopping out the emblem

 

looks sick. flat black ftw

mad propz

 

-agrees with flat black!

 

where did you get the grille?

 

Black in a satin finish.

 

Bought the grill from another member in the marketplace. Wanted to have an extra one to work on so I wouldn't have any down time with the one on my car and I didn't want to screw the one on my car up either.

 

Thanks Chris for the PS. Flat black actually looks pretty sick.

 

This is a no-brainer for me.





Keeps it classy, IMO.

 

Cal, is that grill painted BS?

 

yeah cal, what color is that and where can one find it? i just primed mine this morning and hope to paint it soon

 

No, it's not BS. It's been some time since I've seen it in person....but I want to say it was almost like a brushed aluminum type finish...without the actual brushed aluminum - LOL.

I'll call Chris and find out...
