painted flat black



Just removed the grill and sprayed a few coats of flat black. I went to the store and bought KRYLON Ultra-Flat black spray paint. Very cheap and easy to do. Remember to remove the Infiniti emblem before painting. Total mod time (minus drying) is about half an hour if you don't know where the clips are.

close ups as requested

Sorry it took a while to get these. But here they are!





a little dirty but you can see how nice it turned out. I used a flat black spray paint. Either do a few coats, or strip the chrome from the grill before painting. I was lazy and ended up doing a few coats over the stock chrome paint. I think it turned out great.
