I have some paint for my Sterling Mist here laying around and I really wanna paint my grill...I looked through some old forums and the only pic I saw was of chengkumcheung's white painted grill any people who have silvers paint theres? I'm experiencing mixed thoughts on whether or not to paint the grill...Oh yah picked up some mesh guard to make FLOMAX's under grill and also some blue high temp paint for my calipers, I need to get some pics as soon as it's all finished, not too much time but I'll try to do it sometime this month...

Yes, just don't paint the mud flaps blue and you'll be ok.

So where are you guys getting the paint? Spary or in a can? From Nissan or auto parts store ? Like DupliColor? I thought about painting mudflaps and grill, but need to get paint first and ones that match...

If I paint the grill, I thought about perhaps modifying it, like dut the thinn cross pieces out, sand the rough cuts and then paint the whole thing black or body color, Sterling Mist...

hmm... ideas ideas, so many ideas... so little time

I get my paint directly from NISSAN. I think I'm going to just stick with the stock unpainted grill and paint my mud guards, get some pics as soon as I get a cam.
