so iv seen some pictures of the grill painted black, n looks pretty good, any good places in southern cali that u guys recomend?and how much would it be?

 

a few people do it themselves...https://g35driver.com/forums/body-interior-exterior-lighting-diy/189792-diy-blacked-out-grille-w-pics.html.

its not that hard.

 

most people do it themselves.

 

is it just me, or does the black seem a little flat?

 

you can choose whatever type of black you want....

flat, semi-flat, matte, gloss, etc.

 

Most flat black paint comes out looking that way.......yeah?

 

i thought you were suppose to use gloss black to achieve the flat black look...

 

lol? me=lost also

 

what is to be lost about?

if you want a glossy black grille, then use glossy black paint

if you want a flat black grille, then use a flat black paint.

if you want a matte black grille, then use a mattle black paint.

seems pretty straight foward to me...

 

Doing your grille should be a DIY project on a nice warm day when you have
all day to make it right. My choice for painting the grille would be to begin
with sanding lightly, primer coat, semi-gloss black and semi-gloss clear coat.
High gloss would look funky but whatever you do have fun and enjoy your
work after it's completed....leave Mt Fuji chrome!

 

I also used an adhesion promoter after the sanding and cleaning and before the priming.
