Anyone in Sac area painted your grill black?

I really want to paint my grill black. Ive seen all the threads about how to do it and what to buy, but i just dont feel comfortable doing it alone lol. I got all the supplies and stuff, so if anyone has done it before and can lend a hand please let me know, im willing to pay of course.

I don't know about anytime real soon because of all the damn rain were geting but i wanna do it when it clears up for sure. Thanks

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me, I will get to it eventually too.

Hit me up when you are ready. I don't live in Sac (I live in Oakley) but if you are willing to drive, I can help.

Here's a DIY I wrote up

im in sac, i did mine myself about 3 weeks ago. really easy, the hardest part was taking it off the car. lots of coats and no problems so far. TNT is hella good, i got my bumper painted there. g35papa is really good, i got my camber kit installed by him (pro work). haha, so either way - ur good to go with me, chris or tnt.

Thanks G35Papa for your offer, but i dont think I can make it out to Oakley, really busy with school and work, really appreciate it tho.

Wattz ill for sure either hit you up or maybe go with Extreme and take it out to tnt auto body. Ill just wait and see how much they charged em for it.

No problem man. Depending on what you are looking for, a shop will always have the best finish when it comes to paint.

Thanks for the recommendation Mark

w00t!

+1 for Tony @ TnT, he did a kick-*** clean job on my fender (ahem...don't ask...) and the price was great! Also the guy is super cool and easy to talk to, we chatted for a while about other cars he's done and when I was there he had a white G35 come from the Bay just to get some work done at TnT... thats customer satisfaction/dedication.

I'm thinking about asking him to do my G37's front grille and lumpy-looking chrome spoiler.
