Threw away Ebay Grill, Painted Stock one
I had my cheesy ebay grill on my car for about 24hrs. It was bad. Soo, while I'm waiting to get an Active Tuning grill I decided to paint up my stock one.
It still needs another coat but here are some pics.
I masked of the center strip, and took out the black from the word NISSAN. The pictures aren't coming out soo well, but the letters have a shiny chrome look, and I used 600grit sandpaper to give the stripe a "Brushed" look.

I tried bending it and it felt like the welds were gonna break off.
I might try cutting it up and using it on the lower portion of the bumper. (painted or powdercoated black)

I used the glossy black Krylon fushion, then added a clear coat.
The clear coat isn't sitting soo well on that paint and makes it look matte.
I'm gonna try to shine it up with some rubbing compound and if that doesn't work, I'll apply a few more coats of the glossy black and call it a day.
