Wonna paint my stock chrome grill the body color off the car like a pearl white you can say.. WHat steps should I take? Btw I did search and nothing came up paitning a chrome grill...

 

plastic paint and go to town.

i did mines it lasted a year then it started to get more and more rock chips.

 

Plastic paint?

 

Prep is also important. Sand with 400 or use a 3M scuff pad to texture the surface a bit ,wash and rinse and after it's dry and before painting use wax and grease remover (paint thinner can do also) to wipe it down and ensure you get good paint adhesion (let it evaporate before painting).As for plastic paint, if you go to Home Hardware etc you'll find aerosol paint that will adhere to plastic,but you'll be limited in terms of colour selection. Alternatively, if you want to colour match to your car, you'll have to go with the retouch cans at your local automotive supplier, which will require you use primer first as they won't adhere to bare plastic or metal.

 

lol i think im just gonna find a grill already painted my body color online or something hearing alot off things off not doing it yourself

 

dude, get some sand paper from home depot. Sand it as best as you can. I sanded mine for like 20 minutes till all fo the chrome replaced with rough surface. Get some primer from pepboys and spray it about 3 to 4 times to be sure., wait for about 3 hours if you can put it in the sun to let it dry, buy the color you want and spray. It's simple.

Look on my website. I painted mine black, because my car color is neptune blue and i think it looks good.

Goodluck buying a white grill. I was waiting for about 6 months for one and I finally got one...

i remeber a while back i was lookin for a white grille to kind make my car look a lil more sporty, there were a few in the classified and i found one that wanted to tarde for my chrome one. . . . anyway it didnt happen. i just decided against it. i did look into gettin paint and that pearl **** is damn expensive

 

does anyone have a pic of a white max with a black grill .. I can not picture it in my head

 

I wanna see pics too! I was thinking about painting it white...but very interested in how it is black.

 

dang i've seen a few pics before, let me see if i can find it.

 

i know bijangxe had one. i don't know if he's on the site all that much anymore though. there is a few out there. if you do black for your grille you will need to do chrome hoousing headlights. i saw one with black and black and it looked wierd to me

 

look on the ionicdynamics.com. The project maxima has the grill painted black.
