Thread: Should I paint the grille black?

  1. #1

    Default Should I paint the grille black?

    My car is in bits while I paint and renew a few parts that are looking a bit worn out. While I have it apart I wondered if I should paint the grille insert black. Got the idea and pinched a few pics from a US forum. Whadaya think?

    I think the Black stock grille would look great, here's a pic of Nuliaj's 6 with the badgeless carbonfibre grille.

    Maybe I should have asked the boss first - she doesn't like it on a silver car. Might just do it anyway.

    Since everyone is says do it, I have to be different and say

    DON'T DO IT

    Not because I don't think it looks good, I just want to stand out from the OzSheepClub. jks

    I was almost convinced, but then I got to the end of these replies and saw the stone chip warning. Hmm, good point.

    Are you saying black paint attracts stones?

    Stone chips? Paint it properly and there won't be any issues. Paint is paint, you'll get stonechips regardless of colour.

    What about coloured badges instead? Subtle mods for the wife.
