Hello, anyone around here(seattle) have their OEM grill painted black? If so, where at? Thanks a lot!

 

I''m looking to have the same thing done, let me know if you find a place. Maybe they'll give us a discount if we bring in 2 grills

 

yea me 3... trackmagicc.. we know yours is painted.. where did you paint yours??

 

yea man triple header they might give us some discount that would be sweet. Now we just need a place.

 

Anyone know of a chroming shop around here? Someone suggested getting it chromed black so it doesnt chip or fade, seems like a good idea!

im gona try these guys, im leaving a message ill let you know what happens and how much they charge.

 

Call me stupid, but how do you powdercoat plastic?

 

hmm actually.... our grill is plastic isnt it... so I think when they powder coated it and stuck it in the oven it would just melt. Correct me if im wrong?

 

haha we posted at the same time ^_^

 

if u get a shop to repaint it OB i'm in. we can probably get a good deal with all of them.

we can prep ourselves w/ some sand paper easily.

 

yea hmm let me know if you find anything ill try as well

 

Im in for this as well' I was going to do it myself but I cant paint, unless it's paint by numbers

 

Just so everyone knows, I painted mine by myself. It is VERY easy.

1. Sand down and wipe clean with wet cloth.
2. Spray with a plastic primer and let dry.
3. Spray first coat with black plastic paint, let dry, then repeat.
4. After all coats, spray with a clear coat.
5. Re-install (2 minutes job)

 

I am sorta interested in this. But I'd wait until my stock grill was all torn up or I'd find an used one that's pitted/chipping.

 

yea lets get together and paint our grilss.. i want mine painted... hey track have you traded your car in yet??
